Bitou payment raises concerns

A row has erupted between the Democratic Alliance and Bitou Municipality over money that the Municipality paid ANC member, Sipho Kroma, for his hotel accommodation.

Kroma made eight trips to Cape Town between 2004 and 2006.

The DA’s Robin Carlisle said it is unacceptable and unlawful that Bitou has paid for the bill.

“Of course it’s understandable that the ANC are desperately trying to bury the Kroma scandal because simply the ANC controls the council of Bitou and they finance the work of the ANC and its members.”

Carlisle continued by saying it is unacceptable and irregular and also a criminal offence regarding the Municipal Finance Act.

Bitou Mayor Lulama said this is just another smear campaign by the DA.
