Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

Delays in meter reading and billing
Delays in meter reading and billing may lead to cash flow
problems to the Company as well as facilitate customer
disputes.
Unbilled consumption
During our review of billing procedures, we noted that
Kilimanjaro Kempinski Hotel was under-billed for two
months by a total of 135,765 units of electricity amounting
to Shs 13,120,939. The difference contributes to the loss of
revenue from the unbilled accounts.
4.3.5 Tanzania National Parks
Weakness on the controls over concession fees
Controls over concession fees are very weak. The trend
analysis shows that concession fees have been steadily
declining despite the fact that the number of visitors to the
national parks has been increasing. The low concession fee
is highly attributed to weak controls over collection of
concession fees from investors operating within the
National Parks. For instance, TANAPA does not consistently
record number of visitors who reside in the hotels within
the parks. We tested register of visitors maintained by
TANAPA against hotel records in the month of November
2008 for Manyara National Park and found significant
discrepancies between the two records as shown in the
table below.
