requested a second payment <strong>of</strong> annual fee. Mobitel<br />

letter <strong>of</strong> 14 th April 1999 confirmed that <strong>the</strong> original<br />

lease agreement signed by both parties disappeared <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>refore agreed <strong>the</strong> idea <strong>of</strong> ISW <strong>of</strong> signing a new<br />

contract. The existing copy <strong>of</strong> signed contract between<br />

<strong>the</strong> parties bears various corrections <strong>and</strong> alterations<br />

which seem to be informal. ISW via its letter<br />

ISW/AGC/M.32/37 <strong>of</strong> 18 th April, 2008 requested MIC to<br />

meet <strong>and</strong> review a contract <strong>and</strong> failure <strong>of</strong> turn up would<br />

mean a notice <strong>of</strong> termination. However, to <strong>the</strong> date <strong>of</strong><br />

this audit (December 2008), no evidence <strong>of</strong> review <strong>and</strong><br />

termination was provided despite <strong>the</strong> delay in settling<br />

<strong>of</strong> ISW invoices for 2007/08 <strong>and</strong> 2008/09.<br />
