Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

Number of guards workforces supplied
Internal External Estate Total
February 70 40 48 158
March 59 44 48 151
April - 121 48 169
Total 129 205 144 478
Tanzania Ports Authority and M/s Gema have entered into
disagreements regarding number of guards required. This
situation indicates existence of a serious misunderstanding
on the contract between the two parties. Management has
not shown efforts to resolve this problem Seven theft
cases were reported during the contract period.
The contractor has failed to supply armed guards, dogs,
motor vehicles and Motor cycles as agreed under clause 3.0
of the contract.
Payments were rising from time to time with an indication
of falsified claims as almost 50% of seven claims amounting
to Shs. 245,280,000 raised were slashed down by the preaudit
section of TPA to Shs.195,690,000.
I am of the opinion that Management has not exercised its
due diligence in procurement and contracting management
process which expose both parties into high litigation in
case of dispute.
