Eastern Cape government spends R20m a month renting departmental offices | kgmadisa

Bhanga said that it was even more outrageous that the provincial government has so far paid consultants over R50m since 2017 for the Bhisho Office precinct which has not gotten off the ground.

“This project cannot be allowed to turn into a scam, by default, whereby consultants are endlessly benefitting, without any construction taking place,” said Bhanga. “Last week, the premier once again issued a call for proposals for the development of new offices in Bhisho. This despite the fact that public works indicated that groundwork for the project was scheduled to begin in April this year.”“The people of the Eastern Cape deserve adequate hospital buildings, clinics and schools, not costly offices for officials.

“The DA demands that the premier show that government is serious about curbing wasteful expenditure and providing adequate service delivery for the people of this province,” said Bhanga.
