Underspending 'tantamount to treason'

Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The DA will hold Premier Lazarus Mokgosi to account following his oral reply to the question regarding underspending by NW provincial departments.

- 

According to Freddy Sonakile, DA spokesperson on Office of the Premier, the premier said - based on pre-audited financial performance - most departments spent between 98% and 99% of their allocated budgets aligned with acceptable spending norms.

However, according to Sonakile, the total provincial underspending still amounts to a staggering R383 million, which includes significant shortfalls in key departments.
