22 MTEF ALLOCATIONS

23 MTEF Allocations 2005/06 – 2008/09

24 Observations on 2006 ENE Allocations Between 2002/03 and 2008/09, the department’s budget, including statutory amounts, is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 11,2 per cent, from R4,7 billion to R8,9 billion. The largest part of this increase goes towards increasing personnel capacity and providing services, hence the relatively large increases in the Court Services and National Prosecuting Authority programmes. The 2006 Budget sets out additional allocations of R495 million for 2006/07, R722 million for 2007/08 and R1,1 billion for 2008/09 mainly for spending on the policy priorities of improving access and increased capacity, but also for an increase in the statutory provision for judges’ and magistrates’ salaries. From April 2006, the department has taken responsibility for accommodation costs which were devolved from the Department of Public Works. [R309,8 million in 2006/07, R344,9 million in 2007/08 and R369,4 million in 2008/09]

25 Over the MTEF, there is a relatively large increase in expenditure on the Lower Court subprogramme, which accounts, on average, for 70,5 per cent of this programme’s budget, from R1,5 billion in 2005/06 to R2,3 billion in 2008/09, an average annual rate of 15,8 per cent. This will go towards improving service delivery, integrating the management of cases and people through the justice chain, human resources development and filling vacancies. The increase in expenditure on the Capital Works subprogramme, from R268,1 million in 2006/07 to R308,3 million in 2008/09, is to fund the building of new courts and the rehabilitation of existing court infrastructure. Additional allocations of R34 million in 2006/07, R 61 million in 2007/08 and R92,9 million in 2008/09 are for improving access to the services of the Guardian’s Funds and for deceased and insolvent estate services.
