    "content": "The Committee observed that there were weaknesses in the internal control systems resulting in inadequate documentation and reconciliation of accounting records as well as filing of expenditure returns, deficiency in documentation, authorisation, approval, and recovery of loans. The Committee recommends that the accounting officers ensure that all applicable accounting and financial controls, systems, standards, laws and procedures are followed in the preparation of the financial statements in compliance with the PFM Act, 2012 and in accordance with the standards prescribed by the PSASB as per Regulation 101(4) of the Public Finance Management (National Government) Regulations, 2012. The Committee observed that: 1. The Mechanical and Transport Fund has seven motor vehicles that have been grounded for a long time due to various mechanical reasons. 2. The Youth Enterprise Development Fund has eight motor vehicles and 105 motorcycles that have been grounded due to various mechanical reasons and 907 outdated hatcheries. The Committee recommends that: 1. The accounting officers seek approval to dispose the mentioned assets in accordance with the provisions of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015 and its regulations within three months upon adoption of this Report. 2. The accounting officers ensure there are proper control systems to eliminate theft, losses, wastage, and misuse of the assets of the Funds in compliance with Regulation 139 of the Public Finance Management (National Government) Regulations, 2012. The specific audit issues raised in nine Funds for the respective years are contained in the Report. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank the Committee for their time, energy and resources to help us deliver this Report with almost 100 per cent accuracy in good time. I also commend and appreciate the assistance given by Hon. Speaker at all periods when we could not hold our meetings and had to request the House to allow us to hold them out of Parliament, so that we could prepare our Report in good time. I also appreciate our team: the Clerk and the Department that deals with these Funds. I appreciate their tireless job, working until late hours and over the weekends to make sure that our Report meets the required standard of this House."
