Question NW2112 to the Minister of Finance
22 October 2021 - NW2112
Kruger, Mr HC to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether he will furnish Mr H C C Krüger with a detailed breakdown of all public funds spent on travel and travel-related expenses on (a) small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) and (b) non-SMMEs goods and service providers across all spheres of government in the past three financial years; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
A detailed breakdown of all public funds spent on travel and travel-related expenses for the past three financial years is attached in Excel format. The breakdown includes data from National and Provincial government departments only. National Treasury is still in the process of centrally obtaining, importing and analysing procurement relating data from the local sphere of government.
The breakdown provides the following dimensions:
(a) Spend per department per financial year;
(b) Spend per department per posting level item;
(c) Spend per department broken down in supplier turnover categories.
