The Democratic Alliance said it is
disappointing that the Department of Energy did not spend all the funds
allocated for electrification programmes.
This
is after the department revealed in Parliament on Tuesday that it had
under-spent R131 million on electrification programmes.
The funds of the programme are intended to
provide power to households that have never had electricity before.
DA MP of Energy Jacques Smalle said that as the DA they are concerned when departments fail to spend on their allocation.
“The department of energy under spent just
over a R130 million on their electrification program that dealt with the
municipal energy inefficiency demand site and this is a program that assists
toward resources,” added Smalle.
