The Ministry of National Development (MND) has taken issue with a claim by the Workers' Party-run town council that it could not submit its service and conservancy charges (S&CC) arrears report because its staff were tied up with work for an audit by the Auditor-General's Office (AGO).
It pointed out yesterday that the Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) stopped submitting its monthly S&CC arrears report to MND after April last year.
"This was many months before the AGO audit,
which started only in February 2014," the ministry said in a statement.
As a result, it does not know AHPETC's current rate of arrears, MND said, adding that the last available report shows an arrears rate of 29.4 per cent.
