    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Committee, upon examination of the Auditor-General's reports for the nine constituencies, it made general observations and recommendations as follows: There are outstanding land issues in the constituencies examined related to transfer, succession and acquisition of the title deeds for all the land purchased in the review period. The Committee recommends, amongst others, that the NG-CDF Board should, within three months of the adoption of this Report, provide guidelines to project management committees on how to deal with purchase of land that is under succession and the land for which transfers are pending. Further, that the Board adopts a policy on the procedure of buying land while at the same time ensuring the NG-CDF Committee adheres to the provisions of the NG-CDF Regulations 2016 on purchase of land or buildings. On reallocation and use of emergency funds, some of the projects that are funded using emergency funds did not meet the threshold as set out in Section 62(6)(2) and Section 8 of the NG- CDF Act. The Committee, therefore, recommends that the NG-CDF Board should ensure that the fund account managers comply with the provisions of the Act on the use of emergency funds. Pending ongoing projects were common in the constituencies examined owing to the partial allocation of funds for projects. The Committee recommends that the NG-CDF Board should, with immediate effect, discourage the partial allocation of funds to projects and ensure that the projects are completed, at most, within two financial years. Further, that the NG-CDF Board should develop a realistic policy framework for costing projects for each constituency, which is informed by the cost of materials, transportation, taxes, topography of each constituency and reports from the relevant Government departments."
