The National Treasury, as the institution responsible for the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, has such information. Obviously, I don't have it here, but our parliamentary liaison officer is noting this and will reach out to the members concerned, and no doubt to the Chairperson's office, and we will give you that information. It is not information that comes from our own investigation and work, but from the National Treasury. They have quite detailed statistics in this regard. Thank you.
Ministers' stance on calling for release of investigative reports on specific municipalities
79. Mrs E C van Lingen (DA) asked the Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs:
(1) Whether, with the view to encourage transparency and anti- corruption, he will call upon the MEC for Local Government and Traditional Affairs to release certain investigative reports (details furnished) requested on specific municipalities; if not, why not; if so,
(2) whether these reports (details furnished) will be released; if not, why not; if so, when? CO433E
