REPLY:-
The Department did not receive any funds for the Expanded Public Works
Programme in the 2010/11, 2011/12 , 2012/13 financial years, because all
key sectors of the Expanded Public Works Programme are executed by the
Department of Public Works.
The Departmentâs baseline budget is for Capital infrastructure projects and
as mentioned above there was no allocation for the Expanded Public Works
Programme. Our capital projects are in the main implemented by Department
of Public Works and Independent Development Trust.
