4.1.3 Questionable payments (i) National Social Security Fund National Social Security Fund have been paying bonus to staff who registered members to the Fund. However, it was not made clear as to which activities performed by staff qualify for bonus. Further, it was not explained as to how the performance allowance/bonus was justified to other departments such as IT, finance and procurements who does not directly deal with registration of members. Despite the efforts to call for a bonus policy, the same could not be produced for audit review. In view of the above circumstances payments of allowance/bonus amounting to Shs.74,357,526 was seen to be unjustified. (ii) Tanzania Electrical Supply Company It has been noted during audit that Dowans Holdings submitted invoice No. EFD 786675 of 17 th November 2006 to TANESCO requiring reimbursement of USD 4,865,000 spent as charter aircraft charges for the three shipments of electric power generation equipment, consumables and accessories to Dar es Salaam. As explained by management, the payments were made following the Government and Dowans Negotiation Team resolutions as written in minutes of contract negotiations held from 8 th – 15 th June 2006. However, the minutes of negotiations do not categorically state whether the amount is subject to be paid and by whom. It appears that the amount was wrongly paid by the Government therefore management should justify the payment made to the contractor or arrange recovery of the whole amount which was wrongly paid to the contractor ___________________________________________________________ Office of the Controller and Auditor General PA&oBs 2007/08 83
