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-III5 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 approvalbeing 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.ParagraphThisBased	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 NTRreviewed 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 affectsAccounting 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 receiptsMinistry 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.IPerformanceShortfalls ThePerformance TheThe	II 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 OutManagement	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 receipts29 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.

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 SectionDetails							I advised the Accounting Officer to quantify all outputs at budgeting to facilitate performance measurement.level

I observed that in cases where outputs were either partially or not quantified management reported performance in generic ways. The

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

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.

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 outputsundertook an assessment to establish if there has been service delivery from a sample of out-puts that were implemented and noted the following;CommentsIOutput details Output 10103: Crop production technology promotionActivities/ Details Establish Disease export zones central Uganda6 free inOutput 10107: Promotion of Production & Productivity of commoditiesprioritySupport farmers Quality cashew seedlings production2,000 with 292,000 nut forto boostThe disease free zones (greenhouses) were established to support Export farmers in a bid the horticultural exports.

1.8	Submission of Quarterly Performance Reports8.12 (4,5,6) of the Treasury Instruction 2017, require the Accounting Officer to prepare reports for each quarter of the Financial Year in respect of the vote for which he/she is responsible. These reports shall contain financial and non-financial information on the performance of the vote and shall be submitted to Treasury not later than 15 days after the end of each quarter.noted that the Ministry submitted performance reports for Q1, Q3, and Q4 significantly late and several months after the deadline given for submission of the reports as indicated in the table below;No Details1 2 3 4Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4Deadline for submissionActual date of submissionComment15/10/2020 15/01/2021 15/04/2021 15/07/202105/02/2021 Delayed 24/05/2021 Delayed 07/06/2021 Delayed 01/09/2021 Delayednoted that the Accounting Officer Prepared Monitoring Plans and reports which are important in ensuring that the budget performs as expected.to submit performance reports in time contravenes the Treasury Instructions and affects timely tracking and evaluation of performance.attributed the delayed submission of reports to the skeleton staff that was allowed in the office during the COVID-19 country lock down.

1.9	Accuracy of Performance reports submittedmy review of the annual performance reports and physical inspections/verification of out puts reported, I did not note inconsistencies in the reported performance.From							I commended the Accounting Officer for ensuring accuracy of the performance reports.	














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;

	Total in FY 2020/2021	2,311,000		














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;

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 PercentageVacancyDepartment/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

Item Revised Budget Total Warrants Total Payments Unspent

Total	13,032,948,956	13,032,948,949	10,766,085,835	2,266,863,114	














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 '000Contract Value (Currency and amount) '000Variance '000% Variance

8	Provision of Consultancy Services for detailed studies for irrigation schemes under the projectproposed	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.
