The budget delivered by MEC Mlungisi Mvoko today failed to provide the people of the province with any hope that service delivery will be front and centre of the Treasury’s expenditure priorities. Although he insisted that the province has a good story to tell, these stories are nothing more than fictional tales to our severely distressed communities. MEC Mvoko failed to announce any concrete plans to deal with the energy …

Finance MEC, Mlungisi Mvoko, needs to spell out exactly how the province plans to improve service delivery through the efficient and effective use of this year’s financial allocations. There is far too much money going to the bloated salaries of cadre-deployed millionaire managers and not enough spent on frontline staff who are at the coalface of service delivery. When you spend 65 cents of every rand on salaries, there is …

The unimpressive adjustment budget that was tabled by Finance MEC Mlungisi Mvoko in the Eastern Cape Legislature today is a sad reflection of the state of the fiscus in general. The MEC failed to come up with any innovative ideas and out-of-the-box thinking to shift resources away from a non-core expenditure to core expenditure. We simply cannot carry on in this manner and bold steps need to be taken to …

The Eastern Cape will not have a voice in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) today, where the National Adjustments Budget is being discussed, due to the abysmal turnout at the public hearings last week Friday. The only stakeholder to join the public hearing on the 2022 Division of Revenue Amendment Bill and give input was Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor, DA councillor Retief Odendaal. Once the adjustments budget is …

Despite being instructed by the Eastern Cape Legislature to ensure that a water disaster plan is put in place for schools in and around the Nelson Mandela Bay area, nothing has been done. Should day zero arrive, our learners’ education will be severely disrupted. Schools could become hotspots of infection as sanitation conditions deteriorate. Learners would be faced with the very real choice of either staying home and missing school, …
