## REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL ON THE AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, ANIMAL INDUSTRY AND FISHERIES FOR

**THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 TH JUNE 2021**

## THE RT. HON. SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT Opinion

#### I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 th June 2021, the statement of financial performance, statement of changes in equity and

statement of cash flows together with other accompanying statements for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

#### In my opinion, the financial statements of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries for the financial year ended 30 th June 2021 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Section 51 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015, as amended,

and the Financial Reporting Guide, 2018.

## Basis for Opinion

## I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions

(ISSAIs). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s

#### Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent of the Ministry in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995, as amended, the National Audit Act, 2008, the International Organization of Supreme

Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Code of Ethics, the International Ethics Standards Board for

#### Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Parts A and B) (IESBA Code), and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of Financial Statements in Uganda. I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code, and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in Uganda. I

believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.

## Key Audit Matter

---

## During my overall risk assessment exercise, I noted that MDAs and LGs are still

experiencing challenges in implementing the budgets approved by parliament and policy guidance’s issued by PS/ST, which has continued to affect the performance and credibility of the budget negatively. These challenges include; lack of strategic

## plans that are aligned to the National Development Plans, underperformance of

revenue, implementation of off-budget activities, under absorption of funds, insufficient quantification of outputs, partial and non-implementation of outputs, diversion of funds and challenges in budget monitoring and reporting of performance.

I am aware that the Covid-19 Pandemic continues to significantly affect the

## implementation of several activities. Consequently, a number of activities were not

implemented due to budget cuts and lockdown measures instituted to control the

## spread of the pandemic. It is against this background that the implementation of the

budget was again considered a key audit area during the office-wide planning for the current audit year.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) is mandated to promote and support sustainable and market oriented agricultural production, food

## security and house hold incomes. In addition, the Ministry aims at providing a

competitive, profitable and sustainable agricultural sector so as to transform subsistence farming to commercial agriculture.

#### To achieve this mandate, MAAIF planned to implement a number of both recurrent and development deliverables under various programmes. A review of the entity’s

Ministerial statement and budgets revealed that the Ministry had a revised approved

#### budget of UGX.175,286,405,508, out of which UGX.151,191,793,848 was warranted/released. The table below shows a summary of the key deliverables of the

Ministry for the financial year 2020/2021.

MAAIF planned to achieve it’s planned out-puts through the implementation of 147 outputs with a total approved budget of UGX.175,286,405,508. I sampled 65 outputs

## with a total of 167 activities and a budget of UGX.113,239,239,444 representing 65%

of the total approved budget for review.

## From the procedures undertaken, I noted the following:

| **No** | **Observation** | **Recommendation** |  
|---|---|---|  
| **1.1** | **Existence of Strategic plans that are aligned to NDP-III** 5 of the Budget Execution Circular for financial year 2020/2021 states that over the years the alignment of Government Budgets with the NDP has been poor and needs to be improved. Therefore, Accounting Officers must ensure that all activities for the Financial Year 2020/2021 are aligned with NDP III and implemented accordingly. Regulation 26 (1) of the National Planning Authority (development of Plans) regulations requires entities to submit to NPA their five-year development plans for certification before approval being the first year of implementation of the NDP-III, the Ministry was expected to prepare and approve a strategic plan that was aligned to NDP III. It is from this strategic plan that the annual plans would be based in order to achieve the objectives of NDP-III. on the procedures undertaken, I noted that the Ministry had prepared the Agro-Industrialization (AGI) Programme that guides the preparation of a strategic plan for 2020/21-2024/25. The strategic plan is yet to be approved. Paragraph This Based | advised  the Accounting Officer to liaise with NPA and ensure that the review process  and certification assessment  is concluded. This will facilitate  the development  of realistic annual work plans and the achievement of the NDP III objectives. I |  


---

|| explained that the plan was still in draft form awaiting clearance from NPA. It’s upon this basis that the plan will be approved. Management ||  
|---|---|---|  
| **1.2** | **Revenue Performance of NTR** reviewed the NTR estimates, revenue sources and rates charged at vote level for the financial year 2020/2021 and noted that the Ministry budgeted to collect NTR of UGX.8.97Bn during the year under review. Out of this, only UGX.2.15Bn was collected, representing a performance of 24% of the target. in NTR collections at vote level result in aggregate revenue shortfalls at the implementation of planned activities at a Government-wide level. treasury level which negatively affects Accounting Officer explained that the underperformance was due to reduced economic activity in the sector especially in the first two quarters of the FY due to the COVID-19 pandemic and also due to reduced agribusiness activity among the private sector. The locust invasion also affected business activity in the Eastern part of the country and all these slowed agriculture business activities thus leading to less collection of NTR from the business community than earlier anticipated. **of GOU receipts** Ministry budgeted to receive UGX.175.29Bn out of which UGX.151.19Bn was warranted, resulting in a shortfall of UGX24.10Bn which is 14% of the budget. Revenue shortfalls affect the implementation of planned activities. Accounting Officer explained that the underperformance was due to significant cuts in releases caused by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and that un-implemented activities were rolled over and are being implemented in the subsequent financial year. I **Performance** Shortfalls The **Performance** The The | I I noted the Accounting Officer’s response. advised  the Accounting Officer to develop an agriculture disaster/contingence plan in collaboration with MFPED to assist the agriculture sector absorb the shocks from natural disasters. |  
| **1.3** | of the total warrants of UGX.151.19Bn received during the financial year UGX.146.95Bn was spent by the entity resulting into an unspent balance of UGX.4.24Bn representing an absorption level of 97%. The unspent funds were swept back to the consolidated fund as required by the PFMA. The funds were meant for activities that were not fully implemented by the end of the financial year and these include;  Recruitment of general and contract staff.  Pension Arrears for former MAAIF staff.   Gratuity arrears. explained that the under absorption of released funds was caused by failure to verify pension arrears on time and the failure to fill vacant positions at the Ministry by the Public Service Commission. **Absorption of funds** Out Management | I advised the Accounting Officer to ensure that pensioners are verified timely and also liaise with PSC to undertake the critical recruitments in the subsequent year. |  


---

| **1.4** | **Off-budget receipts** 29 of the Budget Execution Circular for the Financial year states that in the event that an external agency provides funds in the course of implementation of the budget or any funds remain unspent at the expiry of an appropriation, these must be declared and a supplementary issued in line with the Public Finance Management Act 2015. noted the Ministry received off-budget financing to a tune of UGX.1.78Bn which was never declared to the PS/ST and as such no supplementary appropriation was issued as guided by the PSST. These funds were received directly from development partners for undertaking activities not budgeted for. Summary in table below’ and details in **Appendix I;** **S/N** Project** 1 **Funding Source** GEF UNDP **Budgete d (Bns)** **Received** **(Bns)**  1.547  1.068 2 GEF FAO  1.855 0.715 in Fostering Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security  the Karamoja Sub Region Fostering Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security  the Karamoja Sub Region in  **Total 3.402 1.783** financing distorts planning, may result in duplication of activities and is contrary to the budget execution guidelines issued by the PSST. explained that, moving forward, guidance given by the PSST shall be adhered to, to ensure that all funds received outside the approved budget are declared to the PSST for utilization. In the FY 2021/22, the off-budget finances were captured in the Ministerial Policy Statement.

| **1.5** | **Quantification of outputs/activities** 13 (15, b) of the PFMA 2015 states that a policy statement submitted by a vote shall contain the annual and three months’ work plans, outputs, targets and performance indicators of the work plans. sampled sixty-five (65) outputs with a total of one hundred and sixty-seven (167) activities and expenditure of UGX.98.2Bn for assessment. I reviewed the extent of quantification of outputs and activities and noted the following; Sixty-one (61) outputs with a total of one hundred and sixty (160) activities and expenditure worth UGX.89.6Bn were fully quantified. That is, all the one hundred and sixty (160) activities (100%) within these outputs were clearly quantified to enable assessment of performance. Four (4) outputs with a total of seven (7) activities and expenditure worth UGX.8.6Bn were not quantified at all. That is none of the seven (7) activities within these out-puts were quantified at all. in **Appendix II.** I   Section Details |<|<|<|<|<|<| I advised the Accounting Officer to quantify all outputs at budgeting  to facilitate performance measurement. level |

activities that were not sufficiently quantified were;

- Provision of logistical support to the Office of the Agriculture Attaché in Rome.
- Effecting Quarterly Transfers to FAO under South to South Tripartite Arrangement;
- Designing and testing of assorted training material by an external consultant.
- Undertaking of Support Sample collection, testing and analysis of FMD and other priority diseases

| **1.6** | assessed the implementation of sixty-one (61) outputs that were fully quantified with a total of one hundred and sixty (160) activities worth UGX.89.6Bn and noted that; Thirty-four (34) outputs with seventy-five (75) activities and expenditure worth UGX.39.1Bn were fully implemented. That is all the seventy-five (75) activities within these outputs were fully implemented. Twenty-seven (27) outputs with eighty-five (85) activities worth UGX.50.5Bn were partially implemented. Out of the eighty-five (85) activities, the Ministry fully implemented thirty-nine (39) activities (46%); forty-four (44) activities (52%) were partially implemented, while remained unimplemented. two (2) activities (2%)  **2 Showing level of implementation of Fully Quantified** **Summary of Performance by Output** Activity details-Analysis** **No of ou tp ut s** **% of imp lem ent atio n** **Exp end itur e UG X Bn** **% propo rtion to total expen diture** **Tot al no of acti viti es** **No of Fully imple ment ed activi ties** 34 56 39.1 44 75 75 **No. Of parti ally impl eme nted activ ities** 0 **No of activiti** **es** that were not imple mente d** **Extent of impleme ntation of activities per category** **of** output** 100 27 44 50.5 56 85 39 44  98 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 **outputs** **Categor y of output** **Fully implem ented outputs** **Partiall y Implem ented outputs Output s Not Implem ented** 0  2  0 **Total 61 100 89. 100 160 114 44 2 6** of planned activities implies that the expected services to the beneficiary communities were not attained.

| Management explained that, in general, the failure to fully implement all planned activities and outputs was due to budget cuts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic effects on the Economy. The lockdowns caused limited movement and gatherings affecting implementation of these planned activities. |<|<|<||  
|---|---|---|---|---|  
| **1.7** Achievement of intended services from implemented outputs** undertook an assessment to establish if there has been service delivery from a sample of out-puts that were implemented and noted the following; **Comments** I **Output details** Output  10103: Crop production technology promotion **Activities/ Details** Establish Disease  export zones central Uganda 6 free in Output  10107: Promotion of Production & Productivity  of commodities priority Support farmers Quality cashew seedlings production 2,000 with 292,000 nut for to boost The disease free zones (greenhouses) were established to support Export farmers in a bid the horticultural exports.

MAAIF is engaging the Private Sector (Green house owners) to put them right.  \- 22,000 seedlings were distributed in Luwero District. A sample of 501 of distributed seedlings indicated that only 75 had survived implying a 15% survival rate.

## My review of management of the outbreak revealed failure of timely interventions as

a result of challenges faced in the procurement of vaccines despite the availability of funds. Furthermore, the following shortcomings were noted;

####  During the financial year (2019/2020), 700,000 doses of FMD were procured in November 2019, however, only 500,000 (70%) of the consignment was

delivered and significantly late by 4 months.

##  The subsequent order of 2,311,000 doses made during the same year in May

2020 was given to the same contractor (M/s KEVEVAPI) even though the supplier had substantially failed to deliver on the previous contract and despite emergency situation and sensitivity of the disease.

####  None of the procured 2,311,000 doses of FMD vaccines through letters of credit were delivered within the contract period i.e. 22 nd July 2020, however 1,200,000

doses (52%) were delivered during the year 2020/21, 500,000 doses were delivered in 2021/2022 financial year while 611,000 doses (24%) are still outstanding.

Details are in the table below;

| **S/N Contract Details Doses** **Purchased** **Remarks** |<|<|<|  
|---|---|---|---|  
| 1. | Kenya Supply of 500,000 doses of FMD Quadrivalent; Call Off Order dated 5/11/2019; M/s  Veterinary Vaccines  Production Institute **(KEVEVAPI)** | 500,000 | Contract delivery date was 15/12/2019; However, items delivered on 3/4/2020 – 3 1/2 months delay.

## Management attributed the delays to the unprecedented effect of COVID-19

pandemic on international carriage and haulage that has affected deliveries of raw materials to vaccine manufacturers and the scarcity of aluminium hydroxide gel

## which is an adjuvant for both the FMD vaccine as well as the COVID-19 vaccine.

## I advised Management to effectively and efficiently monitor such disease outbreaks

within the country so as to curb the spread and prevent further loss to the

## Community. Further, research collaborations with NARO should be enhanced for

development of a local intervention.

**2.2**

## Non-Compliance of the Public Investment Plan (PIP) projects to guidelines

The Development Committee Guidelines 2016 for the approval and review of the public investment plan (PIP) projects cited that Uganda’s development agenda has in the past been undermined by weak processes underlying the identification,

## preparation and appraisal of projects. As a result, many projects that were not ready

for implementation got admitted into the PIP which inevitably led to unnecessary delays in implementation, cost overruns, limited capacity to utilize foreign loans and its attendant escalation in commitment fees.

## In order to strengthen the processes underlying public investment management, a

new project approval framework was introduced with emphasis on the gradual

## development of project ideas through the mandatory stages of the project cycle. The

framework introduced four levels of approval before a project can be admitted into

## the Public Investment Plan. The key approvals relate to:

##  Requirement to prepare a project concept which demonstrates the alignment of

the project idea to the national development plan,

##  Requirement to prepare a project profile which demonstrates the key results to

be delivered by the project and how these results shall be measured

##  Requirement to undertake a prefeasibility study which demonstrates whether all

alternative interventions have been evaluated and,

##  Requirement to undertake a detailed feasibility study for the option that

contributes greatest to the economy.

## During the year under review, management implemented several development

projects under the PIP. Review of the project activities revealed the following anomalies;

---

However, I noted that three development projects did not complete the mandatory approval stages i.e. lacked a project profile, prefeasibility study and a detailed feasibility study as shown in the table below;

| **Code Name** Start Date End Date Stage** |<|<|<|<|  
|---|---|---|---|---|  
| 1663 | China-Uganda South-South Cooperation Project Phase III | 07/01/2020 | 30/06/2022 | Concept |  
| 1696 | Development of Sustainable cashew nut Value chain in Uganda | 07/01/2020 | 30/06/2025 | Concept |  
| 1698 | Establishment of Value Addition and Processing Plants in Uganda | 07/01/2020 | 30/06/2025 | Concept |  
||||||  


## Failure to comply with this requirement will lead to freezing of the respective project

codes.

Management explained that the Ministry prepared the project profiles which will be submitted to MFPED for approval.

#### I advised the Accounting Officer to undertake all the mandatory stages of project approvals and obtain Development Committee approval of these projects.

## b. Non-adherence of Projects with appraisal Guidelines

#### Paragraph 45 of the Budget Execution Circular 2020/2021 requires Accounting Officers to specifically utilize funds allocated under the codes of feasibility studies for

capital works, engineering designs, monitoring, supervision and appraisal of capital works to ensure that projects are well prepared in line with the appraisal guidelines

## and methodologies before submission to the Development Committee (DC) for

review and approval.

## Further, section 1.1 of the development committee Guidelines 2016 identifies a

number of challenges that lead to delays in the implementation of core projects. Notable among the key challenges are (i) conflicting prioritization of programs and projects in government, (ii) limited technical analysis and appraisal prior to inclusion of projects in the Public Investment Plan(PIP), (iii) limited analysis of financing requirements for individual projects, (iv) the high incidence of recurrent expenditure in the PIP (v) limited structures and technical capacities in Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to develop, manage and implement complex projects, and (vi) slow and cumbersome procurement processes.

---

#### Sample review of two of the Ministry’s development projects with a budget of UGX.8.657Bn and warrants of UGX.8.231Bn revealed that management did not

adhere to the appraisal guidelines in project development, inception and

## implementation. Project details are in the table below;

| **S/ N** **Donor Funding** **Project Project brief GOU contribu tion (UGX) (Bns)** **Current year GOU Budget (UGX) (Bns)** **Current year GOU warrants** **(UGX)** (Bns)** **Funder/ duratio n** |<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|<|

## I noted that the two Projects did not prepare all the mandatory project documents as

specified by the development committee for proper implementation of project

## activities. The documents presented were significantly lacking in information relating

to project goals, outputs, monitoring and evaluation plan to measure success of the project; execution and management plan to describe the road map to adopt to deliver the agreed project outputs and overall estimated project cost and activity

## plan. Refer to tables below for details on each project;

## Absence of substantial projects information makes it difficult to evaluate performance

and success of the implemented projects.

I advised the Accounting Officer to always adhere to the Development Committee guidelines and prepare all the compulsory project documents in the format provided by the DC.

## c. Expiry of Project Duration

Section 4.4 further directs that a project shall exit the PIP upon the expiry of its end

## date or on recommendation by DC. Further, where it is evident that the time

required to complete planned activities is bound to exceed the project timelines set

#### in the PIP, the implementing agency should in writing formally notify the DC and submit a request for extension by end of July of the last financial year of implementation. All projects exiting the PIP shall be required to submit a completion

report (annex 7) to the DC.

#### On the contrary, I noted that two projects i.e. support to Sustainable Fisheries Development Project (SSFDP) and improving access and use of agricultural equipment and mechanization through use of labour saving technologies (LST) did not exit the PIP upon expiry of the projects durations. Management did not provide

any documentation evidencing the extension of the project duration by the development committee as required by the guidelines.

---

## d. Excessive Spending on Recurrent Items-SSFDP

## Section 2.2 of the Development Committee Guidelines 2016 directs that for a project

to be admitted into the PIP, its capital component shall account for at least 70% of

## the total project cost. Public investments admissible into the PIP shall be limited to

public spending to acquire or establish physical assets necessary to facilitate

## production and delivery of economic, social and administrative services. Interventions

that can be undertaken in the recurrent budget shall not be accommodated in the

## PIP.

#### During the year under review, management spent UGX.7,152,622,804 on Support to Fisheries Development Project (SSFDP) activities. However, I noted that management irregularly spent up to UGX.5,951,443,945 representing 83% of the

project funds on recurrent activities and only UGX.1,201,178,859 (17%) of the funds were spent on development activities such as purchase of speed boat, supply of fishing vessel identification plates, procurement of 20 samples of fish and practical tools and equipment. No evidence of approved budget revision was provided. Refer to table below;

| **Budget categorisation Amount Spent Percentage** |<|<|  
|---|---|---|  
| Recurrent budget activities | 5,951,443,945 | 83% |  
| Development (Capital) budget activities | 1,201,178,859 | 17% |  
| **Total** | **7,152,622,804** | **100%** |  


Failure to spend within the set guidelines significantly weakens the internal controls in budget implementation and leads to failure to acquire or establish physical assets necessary to facilitate production and delivery of economic, social and administrative services.

Management explained that the budget provisions were revised to cater for a

## Presidential Directive to accommodate the Fisheries Protection Force (FPU) to carry

out fisheries enforcement operations in all major lakes of Uganda. The activity

## involved massive deployment and the Force had to be facilitated in order to

safeguard the fish stocks and ensure sustainable utilisation.

---

#### Further, Paragraph 10.10.17 of the Treasury Accounting Instructions 2017 states that “An Accounting Officer will ensure that no payments due in any financial year remain

unpaid at the end of that year.

#### A trend analysis of the domestic arrears showed a decrease of 14% from UGX.12,956,698,113 in the prior year to UGX.11,133,496,602 in the year under review. The arrears remained unsettled at the close of the year. The table below

shows the trend analysis of the domestic arrears for the past four years:

| **No Year End Amount (UX) % Increase/ decrease** |<|<|<|  
|---|---|---|---|  
| 1 | 30 th June 2018 | 27,064,751,206 | --- |  
| 2 | 30 th June 2019 | 24,659,186,215 | -9% |  
| 3 | 30 th June 2020 | 12,956,698,113 | -47% |  
| 4 | 30 th June 2021 | 11,133,496,602 | -14% |  


## Continued incurrence of domestic arrears adversely affects budget performance in

the subsequent year as outputs anticipated in the appropriated budget cannot be attained due to settlement of the arrears.

#### The inability to significantly reduce the domestic arrears is a result of the low budgetary provision by Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development

(MoFPED).

#### I advised the Accounting Officer to liaise and draw the issue to the attention of MoFPED so that sufficient budget provisions are made to cater for settlement of

outstanding domestic arrears.

## Un-availed documents retained by the IG

## The powers of the IGG as enshrined in the Constitution and IG Act include to;

investigate or cause investigation and access and search (enter and inspect premises or property or search a person or bank account or safe) among many others.

#### During the financial year 2019/2020, there was a desert locust invasion in the East African region reported since October 2019 and the invasion was reported in Uganda

on 9th February 2020 through Amudat district. Management was advanced funds for preparedness and control of the outbreak for activities to be undertaken within three months although management implemented these activities across two financial years of 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. The Ministry also transferred funds to two

---

#### I therefore could not confirm authenticity of the payments included in the ministry expenditures of UGX.11.95Bn under the statement of financial performance and was

unable to confirm whether the amount involved was applied to the intended purpose.

Management explained that all the documents relating to the dessert locust activities

#### and transfers to the Institutions were officially requested for by the Inspectorate of Government and subsequently handed over and will be availed to audit as soon as

received for verification.

I await the results of the IG investigation for inclusion in my next year’s report and follow up.

## Other Information

The Accounting Officer is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the statement of responsibilities of the Accounting Officer and the commentaries

#### by the Head of Accounts and the Accounting Officer, and other supplementary information. The other information does not include the financial statements and my auditors’ report thereon. My opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and I

do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

## In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read the

other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially consistent with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; I am required to report that fact.

## I have nothing to report in this regard.

## Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements

#### Under Article 164 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995, as amended, and Section 45 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015, as amended, the Accounting Officer is accountable to Parliament for the funds and resources of the Ministry.

#### The Accounting Officer is also responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act 2015, as amended,

and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

---

## Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements

## My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as

a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an

## auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,

but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISSAIs will always detect

## a material misstatement, when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are

considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users, taken on the basis of these financial statements.

#### As part of an audit in accordance with ISSAIs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also:

##  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,

whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for

## my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is

higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

##  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of

#### expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Ministry’s internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

##  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of

accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty

## exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Ministry’s

ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the

## financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My

conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s

## report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Ministry to cease to

continue as a going concern.

##  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,

including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

I communicate with the Accounting Officer regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant

---

## Other Reporting Responsibilities Compliance with Legislation

In accordance with Section 19 (1) of the National Audit Act, 2008, I report to you, based on

## my work described on the audit of Financial Statements, that; except for the matters raised

in compliance with legislation section below, and whose effect has been considered in forming my opinion on financial statements, the activities, financial transactions and information reflected in the financial statements that came to my notice during the audit, were in all material respects, in compliance with the authorities which govern them.

**5.0**

## Failure to undertake monthly wage and pension performance analysis

## Guideline 2.3 of the Establishment Notice No. 1 2020 guidelines on payroll, wage bill,

pension and gratuity management requires responsible officers to undertake monthly wage and pension performance analysis as well as monitor the wage, pension and gratuity budget performance and submit the mandated quarterly returns on payroll, wage bill, pension and gratuity. Responsible officers are further reminded that wage analysis and monitoring is a core function of the human resource management

## department (HRMD). Accordingly, Annex 1 of the guidelines outlines the Quarterly

format for reporting on pension, gratuity, salary and pension management being A-

## Budget performance; B-Physical reporting; and C-Processing of pension files.

However, I noted that management did not undertake monthly wage and pension performance analysis to reconcile the payroll generated through the IPPS with the

## payment information from the IFMS as required by the guidelines.

This resulted into delays in granting clearance to recruit, inefficient wage and pension payroll management, accumulated arrears and non-absorption of pension and gratuity budget.

Going forward, the Ministry committed to submit quarterly payroll, wage bill, pension

## and gratuity performance reports to the Ministry of Public Service.

## I advised Management to undertake the mandated quarterly returns in accordance

with the reporting guidelines and this key performance indicator should be included in the human resource department performance plan.

Refer to table below;

| **Approved Filled Vacant Percentage** **Vacancy** **Department/Directorate** |<|<|<|<|  
|---|---|---|---|---|  
| Crop Resources | 156 | 77 | 79 | 51% |  
| Animal Resources | 207 | 105 | 102 | 49% |  
| Extension Services | 43 | 22 | 21 | 49% |  
| Fisheries Resources | 122 | 68 | 54 | 44% |  
| Head Quarter -Administration | 207 | 168 | 39 | 19% |  
| Agriculture Institutions | 184 | 155 | 29 | 16% |  
| **Total** | **919** | **595** | **324** | **35%** |  


I noted a number of unfilled substantive key positions such as directors, commissioners, assistant commissioners and principals in these key and core directorates.

#### Understaffing adversely overstretches the available staff establishment and leads to work fatigue. As a result, the Ministry’s strategic objectives will be impacted as all

planned activities may not be adequately implemented thus failure to achieve its

## Mandate.

# Management attributed the delay in filling the vacancies to a delay by the respective Service Commissions to conclude the recruitment process for the already declared vacancies and due to the ongoing restructuring of the Ministry, the filling of some vacancies has been deferred until the approval of the new Ministry structure. Further, the positions of Director had not been filled because of an ongoing Cabinet decision that halted their filling in the entire Public Service.

**6.2**

## Failure to Undertake timely recruitments despite availability of funds

## During the year under review, management planned to spend UGX.13.033Bn on

payment of salaries and wages. It was noted that although UGX.13.033Bn was warranted, UGX.10.766Bn was spent with UGX.2.267Bn unspent at the end of the financial year and thus returned to the consolidated fund.

Interview with management revealed that the returned funds had been planned for

---

## Management explained that they are engaging with the Ministry of Public Service to

fast track the restructuring exercise so that recruitment is conducted according to the revised Structure within the available wage.

I advised Management to engage the relevant service commissions for fast tracking

## recruitment of the already declared vacancies and restructuring of the Ministry.

Further, the Accounting Officer should draw the Ministers attention to the urgent

## issue of Director Vacancies for escalation to Cabinet level.

## 7.0 Review of Procurement

**7.1**

## Inadequate Market Price Assessment

#### Section 5 (3) of the PPDA (rules & methods) regulations, 2014 requires the Accounting officer to re-assess the market price where the price of the best

evaluated bidder is higher than the market price established at the commencement

## of the procurement to ascertain that the market price is still valid. Subsection 4 of

the same requires that where he/she ascertains that the market price established at the commencement of the procurement is still valid, the procurement should be cancelled and re-tendered. Furthermore, section 7 (1) (b) of the PPDA (Contracts)

## regulations 2014 requires a PDE not to issue a contract document, purchase order,

or other communication in any form, conveying acceptance of a bid that binds a procuring and disposing entity to a contract with a provider, until the accounting officer confirms that the contract price is not higher than the market price established prior to the commencement of the procurement process.

#### I observed instances where there were variances between market assessed prices and the final Contract sum ranging from 13% to 126%. There was no evidence that the Accounting Officer re-assessed the market price of the best evaluated bidders in

comparison to prices established at the commencement before signing the contracts

## that were far in excess of the market value. Refer to table below for details.

| **S/N Subject of Procurement** Market Price of the Procurement '000** **Contract Value (Currency and amount) '000** **Variance '000** **% Variance** |<|<|<|<|<|  
|---|---|---|---|---|---|  
| 6 | Supply of Tractors of Capacity with Assorted Implements and accessories (90-100) Hp at rated rpm-Lot 2 | 7,338,000 | 8,302,958 | 964,958 | 13% |  
| 7 | Supply of Tractors of Capacity with Assorted Implements and accessories (125-130) Hp at rated rpm – Lot 3 | 1,008,975 | 2,277,500 | 1,268,525 | 126% |  
| 8 | Provision of Consultancy Services for detailed studies for  irrigation schemes under the project proposed | 4,794,250 | 6,440,345 | 1,646,095 | 34% |  


---

Management explained that at the time of procurement initiation, the estimated cost captured did not reflect the increase in the required tractor implements. However, this error was identified and additional funding was confirmed to cater for the required implements.

## I advised the Accounting Officer to desist from signing contracts far above assessed

market value without re-assessing the market conditions.
