Table 13 and 14 above shows the summary of departmental payments and estimates by economic

classification for programme 1 – Administration for the 2023 MTEF period. Total expenditure decreased
from R335.021 million in 2019/20 financial year to a revised estimate of R327.187 million in 2022/23
financial year due to decreased expenditure on travelling and the shifting of the function of paying for

Microsoft licences to Office the Premier (OTP). The programmes budget increases in 2023/24 by 0.6 per
cent to R329.164 million due to baseline adjustments.

Compensation of employees increased from R236.290 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of

R251.165 million in 2022/23 due to improvement in the conditions of service of staff. In 2023/24,
expenditure will decrease by 0.5 per cent to R249.999 million due to projected staff turnover.

Goods and services decreased from R82.080 million in 2019/20 to a revised estimate of R57.204 million
in 2022/23, due to employment of cost cutting measures especially on travelling for purposes of attending
meetings as these are done virtually. Goods and services increase by 4.5 per cent to R59.756 million in

2023/24 financial year due to the high maintenance challenges at the Head Office building which include
plumbing and ventilation.
