Energy Analyst Chris Yelland has described the latest move by government and Eskom to exempt the power utility from disclosing irregular and wasteful expenditure as an attempt to clamp down on information.

Eskom will be exempt from disclosing irregular expenditure not linked to criminal activity, for three years in its financial reports.

The announcement has been met with widespread shock from various organisations, political parties and energy experts.“The new management at Eskom is beginning, in my analysis, to start to clamp down on information. The regular Eskom media briefings have fizzled out. We didn’t even have a media briefing when Eskom released its financials on the 31st of March.”

Comrades have to be protected ☹️

He need to do his homework, the SOE's granted exemption still report all PFMA transgressions to National Treasury and Scopa will still be looking at those transgressions.

Any non disclosure is a sign of dishonesty.

Eskom’s new exemption from reporting irregular expenditure is ‘cause for concern’: energy expertThe decision to exempt Eskom from disclosing its irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure has been roundly criticised, but the Treasury insists it allows the power utility to manage its borrowing costs. Eskom doesn’t need anything less than transparency right now unless comrades want to use Eskom monies for 2024. It’s just a way of that disgusting stealing corrupt ANC/Government to cover up all the corruption they were/are involved in with Eskom, just like de ruyter said! We not a bunch of Kindergarten Kids.

So in simple terms,Treasury is saying,To solve a problem is to pretend it doesn't exist. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣how possible are they going to manage their their borrowing cost when they don't disclose their wasteful expenditures, worse who will borrow money to an entity that you don't know it's financial Balance sheets...minister gout got it wrong from advisors So you want to withhold info on theft from lenders to fool lenders into lower interest rates! Essentially the same as me lying about my smoking, drinking and drug use on my life insurance forms! MYANC reaching new levels and started digging! This will blow up in your face.
