Auditor-General’s report has exposed financial misconduct in the Agenda 111 programme, revealing that US$7.9 million was paid to 35 contractors as advance mobilization funds.
The audit found these contractors either failed to mobilize to project sites or delivered work not commensurate with the payments received. Additionally, the advance mobilization guarantees securing the US$7.9 million had all expired, prompting the Auditor-General to issue surcharge notices to the offending contractors.
