IRREGULAR EXPENDITURE
AMID talks over the past 10 years about the government obtaining a new licence card machine, the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) said it is concerned over the millions of rand spent on maintaining the one and only printer after several breakdowns.
This was after Transport Minister, Barbara Creecy, said the machine had been out of service for 38 days since April 1, resulting in a backlog of 733000 licence cards.
Creecy disclosed this in response to a written parliamentary question from Rise Mzansi leader, Songezo Zibi.
Creecy said the machine was broken for 17 days in 2024/25, 48 days in 2023/24, and 26 days in the 2022/23 financial year.
