CHAPTER THIRTEEN RESULTS OF SPECIAL AUDITS 13.0 Introduction The Public Finance Act No. 6 of 2001 (revised 2004) as amended by the Public Audit Act, No. 11 of 2008 Section 36(1) empowers 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 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) during the year 2007/2008. Due to the late completion of the special audit in respect of HESLB, the report could not feature in this year’s general report. 13.1 Special Audit on EWURA The Controller and Auditor General received a letter from the Government on allegations of possible mis-use of public resources at EWURA. The Controller and Auditor General was requested to conduct a special audit to establish the truth of the matter. The Controller and Auditor General agreed to conduct the special audit investigation. The findings of this special audit were as follows:- 13.1.1 Deficiencies in Regulations to Guide Operations of the Authority We noted that the Authority uses the project implementation document prepared by the consultants M/s.
