Question NW1062 to the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
28 October 2019 - NW1062
Van Staden, Mr PA to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
(1) Whether there are any Government departments that have outstanding rental payments for accommodation provided by her department; if so, (a) what is the total outstanding amount of rent owed by each department and (b) for what period has the rent been outstanding; (2) What measures has she and/or her department put in place to collect the outstanding debt from the specified departments that are in arrears; (3) What steps will she and/or her department take if the specified departments do not adhere to the specified measures; (4) Whether she will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
- Yes, in the course of its operations, and given its operating model as approved by National Treasury of incurring expenditure and claiming it from client departments, there are government departments that have outstanding rental payments for accommodation provided by the Department. See attached Annexure A herewith which provides details with regard to (a) detailed information on total outstanding per government department and (b) the period the rental has been outstanding.
2. The DPWI has intensified its debt recovery management through the following actions:
- Meetings with government departments are ongoing to resolve all outstanding balances;
- Letters of demand are issued to defaulting departments on a monthly basis;
- Letters were issued by the Minister to the Ministers whose departments have outstanding balances;
- The Billing Agreement has been developed to address billing in advance, recovery within 30 days and dispute resolution.
3. The following are the steps that the department takes if the specified departments do not adhere to the specified measures:
- Interest is charged on all outstanding debts;
- National Treasury intervention is requested.
- The Department will request National Treasury to withhold allocation of funds for those defaulting departments after all recovery efforts have been exhausted;
4. I want to appeal to all government departments and entities to pay timeously, because it’s causing cash flow problems for DPWI. If we want communities to pay their bills then government must lead by example.
