goal, organizations need to institute a series of aspects that shall enable them to exercise effective controls that will lead to elimination of wastes fortified by fraud, negligence, embezzlements and sloppy performance. (x) Results of privatization In early 1990s the Government decided to disengage on commercial running of its PA&oBs by the process known as privatization, and the Government decided to immerse on the regulatory roles, leaving commercial activities in the hands of the private sector. Such decision was attributed by several reasons including under performance of entities owned entirely by the Government. Not all of the Government entities were privatized, some of which were earlier specified for privatization but were later despecified and the Government has instituted the restructuring process to back them into full operations. The privatization of PA&oBs commenced back in the year 1993 and PA&oBs Sector Reform Commission (PSRC) was vested with all power for supervision of all the divestures of all PA&oBs. However, the Commission operations seized officially on 31 st December 2007 after completing the divesture of a substantial part of the specified PA&oBs. The left stock of 34 PA&oBs were at different stages of privatization, were transferred to the Consolidated Holding Corporations with effect from 1 st January 2008. (xi) Results of special audits The Public Finance Act No. 6 of 2001 (revised 2004) as amended by the Public Audit Act, No. 11 of 2008 Section 36(1) authorizes the Controller and Auditor General to carry out special audits. The Act clearly stipulates that where at any time it appears to the Controller and Auditor General desirable that any matter relating to public monies or public property should be drawn to the attention of the National Assembly without undue delay, he shall prepare special report relating to such matter and submit the report to the President. It is in this respect that during the xx
year 2007/2008 the Office of the Controller and Auditor General conducted three special audits on Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA), Higher Education Students Loans Board (HESLB) and Moshi Urban Water and Sewerage Authority (MUWSA). Due to the late completion of the special audit in respect of HESLB, the report could not feature in this year’s annual general report. (xii) Main Conclusions and Recommendations Our audit findings presented in the previous Chapters give us reasons to draw the following conclusions and recommendations:- • The Government, Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officers of the respective Public Authorities should exert more efforts to ensure that the outstanding previous matters are timely implemented to bring efficiency in their operations and contribute toward the attainment of the National Millennium Development Goals. • The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officers of the respective Public Authorities should ensure that revenue is timely billed to customers, collected, and accurately recorded in the books of account to ensure completeness of revenue collection and improve security over cash collections to avoid any loophole for misappropriation of public funds. • The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officers of the respective Public Authorities should ensure that payments are properly authorized and adequately supported by relevant documents as this will significantly improve expenditure management and tracking mechanism of Public Authorities. • TANESCO management should justify the payment of USD 4,865,000 paid to M/s Dowans in respect of xxi
