Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

of the project and not responding to the request for
project implementation status.
• NSSF an 11/6/2006 signed an addendum to the contract
USD 90,000 (excluding any tax payable in Tanzania),
however, Item 4 of the Addendum amends Article 8 of
the contract to allow NSSF to pay directly to M/s
Arowana consulting of India.
• The addendum to the contract signed on 12/5/2007
allowed a contractor to sub-contract the development,
finalization, supply and installation of Core Fund
Management System (item 3 of addendum). However,
the scrutiny of the original contract found out that the
supply of Core Fund Management System was not
covered in the scope of Contract under Article 11.
• The scope of the contract as detailed under article 11
of the contract covers core fund systems, oracle
application implementation, implementation of
document management system, legal management
system, public relation system and MIS, training and
oracle licences. The review of this project found out
that the scope of the contract is not adequately covered
as no information on implementation of document
management system, legal management system, public
relation system and MIS.
• The Director of Information Technology through minute
22 of 8/9/2006 advised a Director General to approve
payment to contractor and commended the
performance of the contractor despite the defaults
raised by the users and he asserted that the defaults
noted by were due to lack of confidence among users.
The Director of IT also ignored the advice made to him
by the acting system & Application Manager that the
contract requires the mile stone for payments to be
production set up instead of report generation which
were used to judge completion.
