I do not know the answer to the Deputy's question but the committee secretariat will write to the Department directly on the issue highlighted by him. As I understand it, TII funds the local authorities for roads projects but the Department of Rural and Community Development is now getting involved in this area. Earlier, I listed nine Government agencies which are funding the local authorities. It now appears that there is an additional funding stream which we did not know about then. The list is getting longer and this leads to very disjointed public administration.
