  1. Budget analysis DCS (2010) Mpho Mathabathe: Researcher Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services

  2. Introduction • The presentation will touch on Policy priorities for 2010, performance and service delivery info, and finally analysis of 2010 budget

  3. Policy priorities for 2010/11 • Intensifying the fight against crime and corruption • Corrections as a societal responsibility • Improved centre level service delivery on core mandates

  4. Performance and Service Delivery Information • 7 day establishment and OSD • Management and Detention of Awaiting Trial Detainees • Infrastructure development

  5. DCS budget in Context

  6. DCS Budget in Context • DCS received R15 129.0 bn for 2010/11 • This constitute 3.8 % of total National Budget • 14% of total allocation for JCPS cluster • This is 1 % increase compared to 2009/10 • Cluster received R108 781 bn which is 23.6 % of National Budget • Out of R15 129.0 bn an amount of R10 483 bn is for compensation of employees

  7. Programme allocation • ADMINISTRATION • R3 985.9 bn vs R3 476.3 bn (2009/10) • Constitute 14% increase • This is the second largest programme in terms of allocation • Takes 26.3 % of total DCS budget • It is a concern that DCS has been relying on consultant services especially under this programme

  8. Programme allocation • SECURITY • R5 141.5 bn vs R4 960.0 bn (2009/10) • Constitute 3.66 % increase • Increase of R181.5 M (in nominal terms) • This is the largest programme in terms of allocations • Takes 34% of the total DCS budget • 98% of the allocation goes to Compensation of Employees

  9. Programme allocation • SECURITY (Cont..) • Security still takes a huge budget of DCS despite the fact that escapes have been reduced • It seems as if DCS is putting security at the centre of departmental activities rather than rehabilitation as envisaged by the White Paper

  10. LESSONS FROM THE PAST Programme allocation • CORRECTIONS • R1 583.1 bn vs R1 242.8 bn (2009/10) • Constitute an increase of 27.38% • An increase of R340 M (in nominal terms) • Takes 10.5 % of the total DCS budget • Since 2006/07 this programme never took more than 10% of DCS budget

  11. Programme allocation • CORRECTIONS (Cont..) • 99.3 % of the allocation goes to compensation of employees • Increase in expenditure is for: OSD, 7 Day establishment, and salary adjustments • DCS intends to install video postponement in 14 facilities, implement Bail Protocol, Compile Sentence Plans, and remove child remand detainees to secure care facilities.

  12. Programme allocation • CARE • R1 504.0 bn vs R1 584.1bn (2009/10) • A decrease of 5.06% • An amount of R80.1M has been taken away from this allocation as compared to 2009/10 • Takes 10% of the total allocation of DCS

  13. Programme allocation • CARE (Cont..) • 47% of this allocation goes to compensation of employees • Increase in expenditure is for additional remuneration for health care workers in line with OSD and costs for salary adjustments

  14. Programme allocation (Cont..) • Development • R526.4 M vs R438.0 M (2009/10) • Constitute 20.18% increase • An amount of R88 M added to this programme • 78% of the allocation goes to compensation of employees

  15. Programme allocation • Development (Cont..) • Growth in expenditure is for OSD and 7 Day establishment • Budget for this programme is not in line with “putting rehabilitation at the centre of departmental activities” • Budget for Development has always been low as compared to other programmes.

  16. Programme allocation • Social Reintegration • R574.7 M vs R474.7 M (2009/10) • Constitute 21.7% increase • An amount of R100 M added to this programme • It takes 3.8 % of the total allocation of DCS • 96.6 % goes to compensation of employees

  17. Programme allocation • Social Reintegration (Cont..) • Objectives in this programme include reducing parole violations through intense monitoring • Again, this is all about security rather than programmes for ex-offenders

  18. Programme allocation • Facilities • R1 813.5 bn vs R1 658.7 bn (2009/10) • An increase of 9.33% • Takes 12 % of the total allocation of DCS • An amount of R727 M allocated to the two existing PPP prisons (2010/11) • DCS intends to complete 19 Parole Boards offices and video remand in 22 centers

  19. CONCLUSION • DCS budget does not priorities rehabilitation programmes • The budget continues to ignore the vision of the White Paper • 70 % of the budget goes to compensation of employees, as a result we expect value for money
