Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

of the Authority by the then Presidential PA&oBs Reform
Commission (PSRC).
While the Authority was preparing herself to revive the
project after been dispecified, the Government decided to
reallocate the plot to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International Relations without compensating the costs
incurred by the Authority.
The costs incurred by the Authority constitute of:-
Amount paid to the then Ministry of Works
vide Government Receipt No.558541 dated
4.2.1997
Amount-Shs
362,692,440
Valuation fees of the plots 302,975
Total 362,995,415
We were informed that the Authority was claiming the
same for compensation from the Government.
9.7 Staff imprest, advance, receivables and ex-tenant rent
The entities operating on accrual accounting principles are
expected to have a strategy on how best they will recover
the money outstanding from the service that they have
provided. Also regulation 103 of the PFR, 2001 requires an
immediate retirement of the imprests after the necessity
for it ceases to exist. Although it is expected to see more
efforts dedicated in realizing the receivables, the
circumstance is different for our corporations whose efforts
seems to be unsatisfactory as the review of the financial
statements of Public Authorities for the period ended 30 th
June 2008 noted some weaknesses relating to long,
outstanding imprest, receivables, staff advances Exemployees
imprest/advance and ex-tenant rent as narrated
in proceeding paragraphs.
