Portfolio Committee on Police will tomorrow (Friday, 19 September 2014) be briefed on how South African Police Service (SAPS) spent its budget in the first quarter of the 2014/15 financial year.
At the end of June 2014, SAPS had spent R16.5 billion or 22.8% of its R72.5 billion annual budget. This is marginally below the approved benchmark of 25% set by National Treasury. The percentage spending shows a similar trend when compared to the same period during 2013/14 financial year… it was at 23.8% of the budget was spent.
Tomorrow’s meeting will therefore afford committee members an opportunity to seek reasons as to why this is the case.
Details of the meeting are as follows:
Venue: M314
Time: 9h00
Date: 19 September 2014
