MEC Motlalepula Rosho tables the 2021/22 Provincial Adjustment Budget, 30 Nov

Following the recent tabling of the Medium Term Budget and Policy Statement (MTBPS) by Minister of Finance, Mr Enoch Godongwana, North West MEC for Finance, Ms. Motlalepula Rosho will also exercise legislative imperative and table the Provincial Adjustment Budget for the 2021/22 Financial Year as stipulated by Section 31 (1) of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999,  

Section 31 (2) stipulates that an adjustment budget of a province may only provide for-

1. the appropriation of funds that have become available to the province
2. Unforeseeable and unavoidable expenditure recommended by the provincial Executive Council of the province within a framework determined by the Minister
3. Any expenditure in terms of section 25
4. Money to be appropriated for expenditure already announce by the MEC for Finance during the tabling of the annual budget
5. The shifting of funds between and within votes or to follow transfer of functions in terms of section 42
6. The utilisation of savings under a main division within a vote for the defrayment of excess expenditure under another main division within the same vote in terms of section 43; and
7. The roll-over of unspent funds from the preceding financial year

“The adjustment budget comes almost a month following our country’s sixth democratic local government elections, the results of which demonstrated voter frustrations with the level of service delivery, and this is a clarion call to all of us that we need to strengthen and capacitate this coalface local sphere so that the impact of government service delivery is felt by all. Furthermore, the budget aims to respond and address the economic and social ravages caused by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) by allocating funds where there’s a greatest need thus rebuilding our country’s battered economy and setting it to economic recovery and growth.” says MEC Rosho.

The budget will be tabled on:

Date    :  Tuesday, 30th November 2021
Time   :  09:00 A.M
Venue : North West Provincial Legislature

The budget will be broadcast live on community radio stations across the province and will also be live on the departmental Facebook page. Alternatively Budget documents will be made available on the Provincial Treasury website (www.treasury.nwpg.gov.za) during delivery of speech.
