Could THIS be why Wasteful Expenditure by Politicians is so High?

By

Help Me Out Here?

On an almost hourly basis we see Members of Parliament, Executive Mayors and Mayoral Committee members all across the country being interviewed and holding press conferences on subjects that can only be termed PARTY POLITICAL.

We watch, listen and read as they slam opposition parties and pontificate on how wonderful their political party is DURING the time that the ta and ratepayers are paying them to do Service Delivery and attend to COUNTRY and CITY Business.

Is there a mechanism that allows for these elected officials to ‘clock in’ and ‘clock out’ whilst they are on the tax and ratepayer’s clock?

Of course we could take that one step further and demand that they use their OWN POLITICAL PARTIES resources when attending to their own political party business – no more use of municipal cellphone, vehicle, offce or consumable items provided by the CITY!

Maybe that is why the ROT and wasteful expenditure is so rife?
