UNCOOPERATIVE GOVERNANCE: NMB coalition pushes to write off R23bn irregular spending, bypassing legal requisites

Nelson Mandela Bay's Municipal Public Accounts Committee has voted to recommend writing off R23 billion in irregular expenditure that accumulated between 2009 and 2021.

The decision by the municipal coalition moves to bypass legal requisites, advancing the write-off despite concerns and warnings that the necessary formal investigations into the expenditure have not yet been completed.
