Third Report Of The Joint Budget Committee, Dated 21 November 2003

The joint Budget Committee, having considered the statements of National and Provincial government’s revenue, expenditure and National Borrowing for the second quarter ending 30 September 2003, issued by the National Treasury, reports as follows:

  1. The National Sphere of Government

1. Introduction

The report analyses expenditure trends of the second quarter of the 2003/04 financial year. The third report indicates some level of adjustment in some departments, notably the Department of Education, which has steadily decreased its expenditure in the second quarter. However, the department’s expenditure is still expected to remain high, as the department is still disbursing subsidies to institutions of higher learning until November 2003.

The second quarter expenditure trends also reflect highly fluctuating excpenditure in certain departments during the quarter, notably the Departments of Social Development and Public Enterprises. These two departments had high expenditures in the first month of the quarter (July), lowering their expenditure drastically in August, and then increasing again in September. The Department of Social Development however, explained to the committee in the first quarter that the trend of spending higher in certain months will be evident when the department disburses funds for its special allocations.

The Department of Public Enterprise’s expenditure is more prominent as it spent almost a quarter of its budget (23.86%) in one month (September). This has led to a sharp increase of the overall spending of the department, which was 64.07% at the end of the second quarter. The department has, however, explained this by indicating that there are two trusts that were created last year to manage and direct the acquisition of shares by previously disadvantaged individuals at the listing of Telkom early this year. The lifespan of these trusts is three years and they have been budgeted for in the department’s MTEF budget. In August 2003, National Treasury approved the departmental transfer of R8,342 million to fund the trusts. This amount was paid in September 2003, thus the excess in the department’s September expenditure report.

As reflected in appendices 1 to 3, total departmental expenditure declined from 9.53% in July to 7.22% in August and 7.50% in September. Average expenditure at the end of the second quarter was 49.46%. As was the case in the first quarter, the Departments of Education, Public Enterprises, Defence and Parliament continue to have the highest expenditure.

On the other extreme, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Communications also continue to be the lowest spenders from the first quarter. The two departments have spent less than 30% of their budgets, and had also been the lowest spenders in the first quarter, spending less than 3% of their budgets at the end of that quarter. The Department of Communications has consistently underspent during both quarters.

In the first quarter, the Department of Foreign Affairs explained that its low expenditure is caused by the fact that most of its expenditure takes place abroad and there is a time lag if 2 to 3 months between the time of expenditure and financial reporting. In addition, the data forwarded to the National Treasury was distorted because of the problems experienced with the Basic Accounting System.

2. Monthly Expenditure

The months under review are July, August and September 2003.

2.1 Departmental Expenditure Trends in July 2003

For July 2003, the average amount spent by each department constitutes 9.53%, with 24 out of 34 votes spending less than this average. The Department of Social Development spent the most (17.27%) and the department of Foreign Affairs spent the least (3.44%) during this month.

The Department of Provincial and Local Government spent the highest percentage of its budget during this month, followed by the National Treasury. For the fist time in this financial year, the Department of Foreign Affairs has increased its expenditure to 9.62% of its budget. This comes after consistent underspending of the department during the first quarter and the first month of the second quarter. This is a reflection of the time lag that was mentioned in the first quarter’s report.

4. Current and Capital Expenditure in National Departments at the end of the second quarter

Overall Departmental spending on capital expenditure is less than that for current expenditure. Departments have spent an average of 51.82% on current expenditure as opposed to 37.95% on capital expenditure. Almost all departments, with the exception of only a few, are underspending on their capital budgets. Sixteen departments have spent less than the average on their capital budgets.

The Department of Education has spent only 34.24% of its capital budget. The Justice and Protection Services cluster has spent the least on their capital budget, with an average of 22.6%, followed by central government administration with 29.94%.

The Department of Housing has one of the lowest current expenditures, but is spending well on its capital budget. This is favourable as the department is in charge of housing infrastructure projects that are mostly expected to come out of its capital budgets.

The department of public works has spent 81.95% of its current budget, but only 12.90% of its capital budget. This is cause for concern as the department’s capital expenditure is the main delivery tool of infrastructure and employment creation through Public Works Programmes. The departments of Defence and Science and Technology have not touched their capital budgets.

Parliament and the Department of Social Development have spent high on both their current and capital budgets. Table 9 and 10 illustrate the highest and lowest spenders of Capital and Current expenditures respectively.

Provinces continue to underspend on their capital budgets, but are spending well on their current budgets, with the exception of the Eastern Cape, which has spend much of its Capital Budget. The North West, Free State and Gauteng continue to be the lowest spenders of their capital budgets, spending less than 30% of their capital budgets.

Conclusion

The overall expenditure of both provinces and national departments is satisfactory, especially on the current side. However, both the National and Provincial sphere of government are underspending on their capital budgets.

The research unit has been communicating with departments and requesting their cash flow plans since last quarter. So far, only five Departments, i.e. the Departments of Education, Health, Science and Technology, Trade and Industry, and Social Development have submitted these documents. The unit has gone further by making telephonic follow-ups to departments and requesting departments to at least furnish the committee with information regarding their second quarter expenditure while waiting for the rest of the documents. The department of Public Enterprises in the only department that has furnished the committee with this information so far.

However, even though the committee has the cash flow projections of departments, they still don’t explain everything. For instance, the department of trade and Industry has been on track of its spending for the quarter as per its cash flow projections. However, the Department has spent only 1.59 percent of its capital budget, which is not explained in its cash flow projections.

The Department of communication has indicated that it does not have cash flow plans and that there is really no planning on spending but there is planning on the budget. The Department indicated that funds are used to fund programmes as the need arises and that they are then allocated to certain programs. The Department promised send the committee a written explanation of its expenditure.

Attempts to get through to the Department of Foreign Affairs for an explanation were unsuccessful.
