The WhatsApp message from CFO Gareth Mnisi requests assistance with loading the approval for a budget upliftment to enable payment.
“loading the approval for budget upliftment. The team needs to upload with the budget team in order to enable payment.”
The term 'budget upliftment' is used in the City department to describe a request for additional funds upon realizing a department is running out of funds for a certain function.
“It is a term that we, Madam Commissioner, that we use in the City, in the department. It is when you realise early in the financial year that you are running out of funds for a certain function to complete, that you write a memo or report to the City Manager...”
The CFO Gareth Mnisi is the person who releases funds upon approval for budget upliftment requests.
“The CFO, Mr Mnisi, would be the one who actually releases funds, but now he wants you to initiate the process so that he may then release funds.”
The upliftment permission for budget funds was already done, but CFO Gareth Mnisi requested loading of that information for further processing.
“The upliftment permission was already done. So he is requesting me to load that information.”
Someone in the department must have informed the CFO Gareth Mnisi that the budget upliftment was happening but the process was still holding because of the department.
“Someone is alerting him that it is still lying by us and we are hanging onto the document and not processing it, but I am speculating.”
