1.It is very unfortunate to note that tenders continue to be issued without due Administrative Approval despite clear instructions on the issue. Such behavior deprives oversight of Competent Authority and is not an acceptable method of execution of works. It also creates liabilities which is reflective of rampant financial irregularities.
2. Not only this, tenders are issued without indicating availability of funds. No one has right to issue tender stating that funds have been demanded and create liabilities. It amounts to dictating how funds shall be spent by Government by tender issuing authority and makes mockery of budgetary process.
3. It is not understandable why there is such insistence on non-adherence to laid down processes.
4. Please have AA accorded for all works, including past on going works for which payment is to be made so that processing of payments is streamlined. It is simple but effective tool for oversight. I shall like to see this process completed within a month as the outermost limit. This will enable us to quantify and plan for expenditure and avoid constant noise about non-payments.
5. I hope to receive due cooperation of collegues.
