3.5.2 MLM reported that it did not have funds to spend on projects that were under construction. MLM admitted that its Integrated Development Plan (IDP) was not credible owing to insufficient public participation. In order to address that challenge, MLM had asked provincial treasury to assist it with the development of sound IDP. In the 2009/10 financial year, MLM did not have sufficient funds to implement sewer treatment plant. This project was postponed for the following financial year.
