Wadau wa elimu, wamemuunga mkono Rais John Magufuli kwa kutaka Tume ya
Vyuo Vikuu Tanzania (TCU) kutoa uhuru kwa wanafunzi kuomba chuo
wanachokitaka.
Baadhi ya wanafunzi walioomba vyuo kwa mfumo wa CAS, walisema utaratibu
huo haumpi uhuru muombaji aliyefaulu vizuri kwenda kusoma chuo
anachokitaka, badala yake anapangiwa chochote.
Dar es Salaam. The Controller
and Auditor General (CAG) 2015/16 report identifies weaknesses in public
procurement process which has caused the government to lose huge chunk
sof money.
The report which was released by the CAG,
Prof Mussa Assad, on Thursday, exposes numerous cases of non-compliance
with public procurement legislations.
The CAG
highlighted several weaknesses in contracts and project management. He
sampled eight contracts of projects worth Sh63 billion and $1 billion
(Sh2.2 trillion) were not managed properly,
He also
found irregularities in procurement of goods and services worth Sh23.98
billion, which were undertaken without competitive quotations from at
least three suppliers.
“I noted delays in completion of
projects costing Sh23.32 billion…a number of MDAs (ministries,
departments and agencies) were engaged in procurement of goods and
services for Sh2,48 billion without prior approval of tender boards,”
read the report in part.
According to the report, ten
public entities which were audited procured works, goods and services
worth Sh11.253 billion without having any valid contract/agreement with
the supplier/contractor something which is contrary to Regulation 10(4)
of Public Procurement Regulations, 2013.
For example
the report shows that Ministry of Water and Irrigation entered into
contract worth h491.047 million with M/S Ms. International Company for
supply of Mobile Water purification unit at Gidahababeig-Hanang without
the contract being vetted by AG..
“Likewise the
Registrar of Political Parties made procurement of consultancy services
on provision of Aviation Safety, Security and life Skills for Sh668
million, which was not vetted by Attorney General as required by the
law,” read the report.
The CAG report also found out
that there were no improvement in asset management across MDAs as they
own assets which do not present fair value and absence of an assets
policy.
“As pointed out in my previous report the
government did not take adequate and timely action to rehabilitate
office and residential buildings located in Tanzanian embassies and high
commissions...some of the buildings were dilapidated and physically in
bad state,” said Prof Assad in the report.
The report
shows that out of 34 Tanzania embassies, 12 had 37 dilapidated buildings
which require major repair and maintenance. The report furthered that
there were ten plots for construction of Tanzania embassies abroad which
weren’t developed.
