Over sh44m has been spent by Kasese district administration without payment vouchers, according to the Auditor General’s report for the year ending June, 30, 2002, reports John Nzinjah.
The report, presented to the district public accounts committee (PAC) at Kasese town council Conference Hall on November 19, indicated that over sh282m remained outstanding in personal advances at the end of the year under review.
The report, delivered by the Auditor General’s representative in Fort Portal, John F. S. Muwanga, said “the management of the advances continued to remain poor.â€
“Fresh advances were granted to persons who had not settled previous advance accounts while little effort was made to have advances brought forward,†it said.
The report said there was still outstanding balances on account worth over sh44m. Part of the money was in undischarged primary school teachers pensions and transfers to Lake Katwe salt industry.
The district PAC chief, Thembo Kitsumbire, has summoned several district officials to explain the errors.
He asked the senior internal auditor, Ferigo Kampola, to give a detailed report about the accounting anomalies.
