Dr.. Botha comment on

Several new board members had nothing to do with the dismal financial position the Kouga Municipality finds itself, but Mr. Mate does. He, among others, was the last Mayoral (in my tail that swings the dog), the committee under whose watch us into this mess.
Dr.. Nico Botha (DA) to ask what's going on with the R26 million "land sales" that did not materialize. Previously it was pointed out that potential revenue from the sale of land can not be regarded as a given with the drafting of a budget.
The opposition object to the revised budget's cuts of 48% (!) On infrastructure maintenance and want the item should be referred to the Executive eid 2013 Mayor. It will be refused and said that there will be asked for provincial and national "intervention" as a project of the President under his own chairmanship.
In the same meeting a report of the Auditor-General presented with damning figures on irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure of millions of rand. So there is (again) not enough money for infrastuktuurinstandhouding, but the misappropriation of millions reigns a grave silence. eid 2013
Speaking of infrastructure, according to municipal spokesman's our water is safe to drink, but I repeatedly see red [read mud] as my white laundry bundle with brown stains come out of the washing machine!
Dr.. Botha comment on "councilor allowances", which Mr. Stuurman want to know why Botha sets it apart as it is only a small part of the budget. This discussion was "finish eid 2013 and finish".
And to Mr. Phumzile Oliphant (ANC) asked me: What do you mean when you said that the "Poorest of the Poor" willing "to sacrifice projects eid 2013 in their own wards" for the sake of the bigger picture? Know the poorest of the poor on their behalf that said that projects in their wards will be sacrificed?
So a deficit eid 2013 of R26 million to be lightly dismissed, millions of rands misappropriated, questions about board members' salaries are undesirable, but the poorest of the poor should clearly projects in their wards sacrifice to the Kouga Municipality of the financial predicament for which the poor certainly was not responsible.
