Causes of unspent municipal infrastructure grant in the Capricorn District Municipality :a case of two selected local municipalitiesMaake, Khomotso Rahab January 2017 (has links)
Thesis (MPA.) -- University of Limpopo, 2017 / In 1994 the South African democratically elected government inherited one of the most
inequitable access to basic service between rural and urban communities. Rural people
used to live without access to basic services such as water, electricity, roads and
sanitation facilities. South African government established the Municipal Infrastructure
Investment Framework as the national Strategic Plan to outline the extent of basic
infrastructure backlogs and to come up with strategies to improve basic service
provision to the poor citizens. The Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) is a municipal
infrastructure funding which combines all the existing capital grants for municipal
infrastructure into a single consolidated grant. MIG is aimed at assisting the poor to gain
access to infrastructure. MIG funding can only be used for infrastructure for basic
services. Polokwane local municipality and Blouberg local municipality are the
beneficiaries of MIG.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the causes of unspent Municipal
Infrastructure Grants in Polokwane and Blouberg local municipalities. An extensive
literature review has been undertaken to gather information regarding unspent
Municipal Infrastructure Grants in the two municipalities in the Capricorn District;
Polokwane and Blouberg local municipalities. The study provides an investigation on
how Polokwane and Blouberg local municipalities monitor the Municipal Infrastructure
funding. The study further investigate the capacity of the municipalities to implement
MIG, and whether these municipalities have the capacity to effectively utilise the MIG
for efficient and effective service delivery. The researcher utilised a qualitative approach
to collect data through interview schedule. A satisfactory response rate of 98% was
obtained.
The results indicated that Polokwane and Blouberg local municipalities are capacitated
to implement and to monitor MIG. However, the municipalities often spend less than the
budgeted MIG, as a result progress in the access to basic services is hindered. The
failure to adequately spend the MIG by these municipalities is due to the fact that there
is poor planning and a lot of political interference in the Supply Chain Management
processes.
The study recommended that managers should do proper planning beforehand, avoid
late appointment of service providers and make references on the service providers
they appoint to avoid disputes from members of the community. The study further
recommended that Polokwane and Blouberg local municipalities should do proper
consultation of the project, budget accordingly, and appoint companies that will produce
positive end results with value for money. The study recommended that political office
bearers should not interfere in the supply chain management processes

Límites constitucionales al contenido material de las leyes de presupuestos del EstadoToscano Ortega, Joan A. 24 January 2003 (has links)
El trabajo está montado como un intencionado diálogo con los criterios esgrimidos por el Tribunal Constitucional sobre esta materia (desbordamiento material de las leyes de presupuestos) en su ya dilatada jurisprudencia. Su autor defiende una concepción amplia del ámbito material de las leyes de presupuestos. Según esta posición, este tipo de ley debe incluir la materia presupuestaria, pero, como ley que es, puede cobijar otras materias, salvo prohibición constitucional clara al respecto. Esta posición es superadora de la concepción de la ley de presupuestos como ley meramente formal, de suerte que la concibe como una ley plena, emanada de la potestad legislativa del Parlamento, con la fuerza propia de la ley, esto es, no vinculada a la legislación previa y capaz (aunque no siempre idónea, desde la perspectiva de la técnica legislativa) de emprender innovaciones legales.Desde esa postura "amplia" el autor formula propuesta de solución o de mejora frente al desbordamiento material de las leyes de presupuestos. Asimismo tras analizar su problemática específica, plantea posibles soluciones en relación a la práctica de las leyes de acompañamiento. / El treball està muntat com un intencionat diàleg amb els criteris esgrimits pel Tribunal Constitucional sobre aquesta matèria (desbordament material de les lleis de pressupostos) en la seva ja dilatada jurisprudència. El seu autor defensa una concepció àmplia de l'àmbit material de les lleis de pressupostos. Segons aquesta posició, aquest tipus de llei ha d'incloure la matèria pressupostària però, com a llei que és pot acolir altres matèries, excepte prohibició constitucional clara al respecte. Aquesta posició és superadora de la concepció de la llei de pressupostos com a llei merament formal, de manera que la concep com una llei plena, emanada de la potestat legislativa del Parlament, amb la força pròpia de la llei, és a dir, no vinculada a la legislació prèvia i capaç (encara que no sempre idònia, des de la perspectiva de la tècnica legislativa) d'emprendre innovacions legals.Des d'aquesta postura àmplia, l'autor formula proposta de solució o de millora davant del desbordament material de les lleis de pressupostos. Així mateix, després d'analitzar la seva problemàtica específica, planteja possibles solucions en realció a la pràctica de les lleis d'acompanyament. / The analysis is set out as an intentional dialogue with the criteria laid down by the Constitutional Court on this subject (material overflow of state budgets laws) in the course of its extended jurisprudence, In short, the work defends a broad concept of the material scpope of budget laws.
