The Minister of
Social Development Bathabile Dlamini said the National Development Agency
budget for the board expenses and expenditure on furniture and fixtures
increased by over 600% and 900% in the last two years.
Dlamini
revealed this during the parliamentary question in parliament.
The Democratic
Alliance said there is absolutely no justification for this.
DA MP for
Social Development Mike Waters said the money spent on this could be better
spent on programs to alleviate poverty and provide social assistance.
“Ninety nine
percent of the department of social development budget went to social welfare
services, shifting away from unnecessary internal departmental costs in favour
of service delivery to the poor and vulnerble,” Waters said.
He added that
if the DA were in government nationally they would do the same.
