The National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) had no fixed asset register despite having billions of dollars in equipment and management was unable to explain how it spent $1.8b in repairs over 2011-2014.
These findings were contained in a scathing report by Nigel Hinds Financial Services which was transmitted to the Ministry of Finance on November 30th last year but only released yesterday.
The audit report said that the $1.8b in repairs was recorded despite the fact that new machinery and equipment acquired during the same period exceeded 50% of the listed machinery and equipment of NDIA.
