Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am obliged to extend my regards to His Excellency Dr.Jakaya
Mrisho Kikwete, the President of the United Republic of Tanzania,
for always drawing attention to and laying emphasis on my
general reports, particularly my general audit reports for the year
ended 30 th June 2006.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Speaker of the
Parliament of Tanzania, Chairpersons and Honorable Members of
various oversight Committees of Parliament for their commitment
to deliberate on the contents of the report and the separate
individual reports issued to the PA&oBs. My gratitude goes to all
those who created for me an enabling environment to discharge
my Constitutional obligations and timely completion of the report
thereon. It is my belief that since this general audit report of
Public Authorities is being issued for the second time and within
the statutory due date, it will expedite the Committee’s hearing
so that their oversight function is brought up to date.
Further, I wish to express my gratitude to the Board of Directors
and the Chief Executive Officers for the PA&oB for the much
needed support and information availed to me. Furthermore, I
would like to thank the Government Printer for expediting the
printing of this report and therefore making it available for
distribution to stakeholders on time.
I also wish to express my deepest gratitude to the donors who
have been supporting my office especially the Swedish National
Audit Office (SNAO), the Government of Sweden, Development
Partners through the Public Financial Management Reform
Program (PFMRP) under the able leadership of the World Bank and
well wishers who have contributed immensely towards the
modernization of my office.
I wish to thank all the forty four (44) private auditing firms that
have been working hand in hand with my office in the audits of
the PA&oBs. They have done a commendable job which should be
sustained in the future audits of the PA&oBs.
