The Committee recommended that the DPLG and the National Treasury to look into: . the concerns raised by the DPLG and to ensure that greater effort was put into ensuring the well-being of poor or low capacity municipalities; . the funding for Municipal Systems Improvement Grant (MSIG) that was not growing; . section 9(2) of the Bill as it relates to the function of the DPLG (transferring national officer) with the view to ensuring that the department was given latitude to perform its role; and . A possible contradiction between section 9(1) and 15(6) as reported by the DPLG.
