Recommendation<br />

• The Board <strong>of</strong> Directors <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chief Executive Officers<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> respective Public Authorities should ensure that<br />

payments are properly authorized <strong>and</strong> adequately<br />

supported by relevant documents as this will<br />

significantly improve expenditure management<br />

mechanism <strong>of</strong> Public Authorities.<br />

contract agreement.<br />

Recommendation<br />

charges for <strong>the</strong> three shipments <strong>of</strong> electric power<br />

generation equipment, consumables <strong>and</strong> accessories to Dar<br />
