Focus more on waste, urges UDM

Johannesburg - Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene should have placed more emphasis on dealing with wasteful expenditure, the UDM said on Wednesday.

"We would have liked to hear him place emphasis more on what they intend doing on dealing with wasteful expenditure," United Democratic Movement chief whip Nqabayomzi Kwankwa said in reaction to Nene's 2014 mini budget (Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement).

Kwankwa commended Nene for the money that had been allocated to fighting Ebola in West Africa.

"Ebola is an African problem and as Africans we should do something about it," he said.
