VICTORIA, Seychelles — The Auditor General’s report has identified procurement issues at a government agency, particularly in items like uniforms and firefighting equipment. The report found that three payments were made in a manner inconsistent with the agency’s procurement procedures, raising concerns about compliance with established standards and value for money.
Officials noted that the agency is bound to adhere to certain standards in procurement, including transparency, fairness, and proper documentation. The findings emphasised the need for tighter controls and clearer accountability mechanisms to ensure that public funds are used appropriately and that all procurement activities meet required standards.
The report has been referred to the relevant authorities for further action, and the agency is expected to implement the recommended corrective measures. The Auditor General’s office reiterated the importance of rigorous procurement processes in safeguarding public resources and strengthening public trust in government operations.
