Fourth Quarterly Performance Report for 2019/20 financial year

The Department should provide the Portfolio Committee with the factors that contribute to under expenditure reported under Development and Planning, Administration and Traditional Institutional Development.

The major contributors to under expenditure across all three programs were: • Funds that could not be transferred to Emfuleni because of the condition of the funds. • Unfinished projects pertaining to disaster management projects. • Delays in procurement, mainly emanating from probity audits. • Starting of procurement process late in the Financial year. In the current year, despite the effect of lockdown, all tenders will be advertised at once. Funds that remain unspent and uncommitted towards the end of the second quarter will be redirected to high spending priority projects before the end of second quarter. • Lack of office accommodation.

Yes.
