Budget Speech 2016The 2016 Budget: Government's Action PlanProvincial expenditure management |
Honourable Speaker, our Constitution requires an equitable division of nationally collected revenue between national, provincial and local government.
Taking into account the current fiscal framework, the Provincial MECs for Finance have agreed to a Joint Action Plan to address expenditure management and service delivery improvement challenges.
Key measures include:
| • | Containment of administrative personnel expenditure while protecting education and health service staff; |
| • | Improved revenue collection; |
| • | Rationalisation and closure of redundant and underperforming programmes and entities; |
| • | Intensification of cost-containment measures, in keeping with national guidelines. |
