Pretoria – The Portfolio Committee on Transport has welcomed the unqualified audits for all entities administered by the department.
Entities administered by the Department of Transport recently presented their annual reports to the committee.
However, Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Transport Dikeledi Magadzi has called for capacity to be enhanced at all the parastatals administered by the department.
“Governance instability and financial mismanagement at any of the entities should not be tolerated, as they impact on the operations of entities and on service delivery,” Magadzi said.
She was concerned that during the audit process, the Auditor General raised a lack of accountability, capacity and slow response in implementing recommendations.
“Emphasis should shift to ensuring strong leadership, and continuous financial training for senior officials and those in procurement and supply chain management,” Magadzi said. –SAnews.gov.za
