Question NW1640 to the Minister of Transport
07 June 2016 - NW1640
Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
(a) Why did KwaZulu-Natal request a rollover of its Provincial Road Maintenance Grant and (b) what are the further relevant details in this regard?
Reply:
(a) According to our records which are contained in the Infrastructure Reporting Model (IRM), Kwazulu Natal Province have sent their allocation for Provincial Roads Maintenance Grants (PRMG) though the department as the Transferring National Officer (TNO), have withheld the fourth tranche payment.
(b) The Department is engaging with the province together with National Treasury to rectify expenditure as reported on IRM while we are awaiting response from National Treasury for the approval of rollover funds withheld. Note that Provincial Treasuries manage rollover funds on behalf of National Treasury.
