### **16918 **comments delivered to Minister Enoch Godongwana, so far (closes Friday, 21 April)

### In a surprise move, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has exempted Eskom from disclosing irregular, fruitless, and wasteful expenditure _[notice 3247 of gazette 48354, 31 March 2023]. National Treasury has now called for public comment._

 _**NOTE.**_ The Sunday Times reports that National Treasury reiterates its intention
to reinstate the waiver it granted Eskom from disclosing irregular, fruitless and
wasteful expenditure. **The Eskom exemption is back.**

    - The Public Finance Management Act requires Eskom to keep full and proper records
      of its financial affairs and publish annual reports and financial statements.
    - The Act forces Eskom to “disclose any material losses through criminal conduct
      and any irregular expenditure and fruitless and wasteful expenditure that 
      occurred during the financial year”.
    - However, Minister Godongwana has now removed the need for Eskom to play open
      cards about irregular expenditure and wasting money.
