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 2022, 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 2022 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Section 51 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015 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 (IESBA) Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Parts A and B), 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. Over the years, I have observed improvements in the performance regarding implementation of the budget but entities still face a number of challenges including COVID, which continue to affect implementation of activities, service delivery and credibility of the budget. It is against this background that budget performance was considered a key audit area during the office-wide planning. I reviewed documents such as work plans, performance reports, conducted interviews and physical inspection in arriving at my findings. The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries 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. The Ministry had an approved budget of UGX.254,016,927,212 out of which UGX.201,354,105,642 was warranted. The Ministry’s key deliverables for the financial year under review were; Table 1 Showing key deliverables for MAAIF for the year S/N Output Details Revised Budget “Bns” (UGX) Cumulative % share of the total approved budget 1 10577 77: Purchase of Specialized Machinery & Equipment 45 18% 2 10580 80: Livestock Infrastructure Construction 38 33% 3 10205 5: Vector and disease control measures 20 41% 4 10583 83: Valley Tank Construction (livestock) 9.904 44% 5 10505 5: Creating and Enabling environment for Agriculture 8.791 48% 6 10572 72: Government Buildings and Administrative Infrastructure 8 51% 7 10205 5: Vector and disease control measures 5.9 53% 8 10599 99: Arrears 5.128 55% 9 10504 5: Creating and Enabling environment for Agriculture 5 57% 10 10209 9: Vector and disease control in priority animal commodities 4.547 59% 11 10171 71: Acquisition of Land by Government 4.097 61% 12 10280 80: Livestock Infrastructure Construction 3.9 62% 13 10102 2: Quality Assurance systems along the value chain 2.976 63% 14 10404 4: Promotion of sustainable fisheries 2.5 64% 15 10581 81: Construction of irrigation schemes 2.5 65% 16 10209 9: Vector and disease control in priority animal commodities 2.35 66% 17 10104 4: Crop pest and disease control measures 2.204 67% 18 10584 84: Fisheries Infrastructure Construction 2.201 68% 19 10206 6: Improved market access for livestock and livestock products 2.2 69% 20 10102 2: Quality Assurance systems along the value chain 2.15 70% 21 10107 7: Promotion of Production & Productivity of priority commodities 2 71% S/N Output Details Revised Budget “Bns” (UGX) Cumulative % share of the total approved budget 22 10305 5: Provision of Value Addition extension services 1.905 71% 23 10203 3: Promotion of Animals and Animal Products 1.7 72% 24 10207 7: Promotion of priority animal products and productivity 1.25 73% 25 10104 4: Crop pest and disease control measures 1.2 73% 26 10402 2: Fisheries Quality Assurance and standards 1 73% 27 10402 2: Fisheries Quality Assurance and standards 1 74% 28 10103 3: Crop production technology promotion 0.7 74% 29 10107 7: Promotion of Production & Productivity of priority commodities 0.7 74% 30 10303 3: Agricultural extension co-ordination strengthened 0.696 75% Total 189.5 I reviewed the implementation of the approved 2021/2022 budget by the entity and noted the following; No Observation Recommendation 1.1 Revenue PerformanceAmount (UGX ‘Bns) 18 To provide for forwater animals the communities in Moroto, Amudat etc. support farmers in theKotido,of Non-Tax Revenue (NTR)reviewed the NTR estimates, revenue sources and rates charged at vote level for the financial year 2021/2022 and noted that the Ministry budgeted to collect NTR of UGX.1.580Bn during the year under review. However, UGX.5.050Bn was collected above the target by 200%.Accounting Officer attributed the significant performance in NTR to the opening up of the economy with increased vigilance and regulatory enforcement including massive registration of the fisher folk.of GOU receiptsto the approved budget, the Ministry was supposed to receive UGX.254.12Bn out of which UGX.201.35Bn was warranted, resulting in a shortfall of UGX.52.66Bn. The shortfall represents 21% of the approved budget.funds that were not warranted were meant to facilitate the implementation of a number of activities which were either partially, or not implemented at all; some of these activities are;Out-put Activity PurposeIN o1 80: Livestock Infrastructure ConstructionConstruction of Water for production facilities (valley tanks/dams, fish ponds, canals)2 77: Purchase of SpecializedProcure distributeand 4WD10.548 ToPerformanceThePerformance AccordingThe commended the Accounting Officer for collection of the NTRs.

Out of the thirty-two (32) activities, the entity fully implemented twenty (20) activities; eleven (11) activities were partially implemented, while one (01) activity remained unimplemented.  Two (2) outputs with two (2) activities worth 0.7Bn were not implemented at all. Details in Appendix I showing extent of Implementation of Outputs and Activities.of planned activities implies that the expected services to the beneficiary communities were not attained. For example, the ministry did not implement the following planned activities despite having received the required funds.Procurement and distribution of 291,667 Cashew nut seedlings 2. Delivery and distribution of the procured Vaccines 3. Land surveying and titling 4. Procurement of three Motor vehiclesAccounting Officer attributed this to delays in the procurement processes and long dry seasons than anticipated for instance theINon-implementation 1.The advised the Accounting Officer to undertake adequate planning in order to ensure that activities and outputs are implemented as planned.I No Observation Recommendation procurement and distribution of cashew nut seedlings could not be done because of the dry spell that set in earlier than usual patterns. 1.4 10.3.1 (step 4-approval of payments) of the Treasury Instructions 2017 states that in reviewing payment requests, an Accounting Officer shall have a primary responsibility of ensuring that there is no mischarge and diversion of funds through wrong coding of transactions. An Accounting Officer shall be held personally liable for any wrong charge accounts used for expenditure incurred by his/her vote.a sample of transactions reviewed, I noted that funds to the tune of UGX.1,362,077,816 were irregularly diverted from the activities on which they were budgeted and spent on other activities without seeking and obtaining the necessary approvals. Details in Appendix IIof funds is not only contrary to the Public Finance and Management Act, but it negatively affects the delivery of services and negates the purpose of budgeting.Accounting Officer explained that;  Travel abroad is in response to global events that affects global interrelationships including Trade concerns.  Funding for vaccines are considered as a package all the way from procurement, delivery, distribution and administration to ensure impact of vaccination to protect the livestock.  Government intervention recently brought on board activities where resources were spent on the PDM launch. The output of the launch was to popularize the PDM that is directly related to Public relations and advertisements.Diversion/Mischarges ParagraphFromDiversionThe advised the Accounting Officer to always ensure that charging of expenditure is based on the expenditure classification and coding as defined by the chart of Accounts. Any reallocations should be done in accordance with the regulations.I 1.5 Delivery of Services from implemented activities I under took procedures to establish if activities were undertaken in timely manner, were of expected quality and quantity, and if citizens were getting the expected services.

Paragraph 16.13.11 of the Treasury Instruction, 2017 requires that for a government entity to be considered to have control over land only when it has the title. The current financial reporting framework requires Land to be recognized as Non- produced assets in the statement of financial position (effective 2014) for all reporting entities on both Modified accrual and accrual basis of Accounting. The framework further requires land procured prior to 2014, and where the value cannot be ascertained to be recorded in the memorandum statement to the financial statements. I observed that Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), and Local Governments (LGs) have challenges with regard to planning and budgeting, protecting, reporting, utilization and disposal of Public Land. These challenges include; inadequate record keeping, non-compliance to recognition and measurement criteria, loss of entity control due to encroachment and encumbrances, and lack of land titles, among others. These have negatively affected the quality of financial statements, and hampered service delivery and fulfillment of entity mandates. Documents, such as; Laws and Regulations, approved strategic plans, policy statements, budgets, Financial Statements, Asset Register, Court case files and correspondences, Land titles and lease files were reviewed. In additions, I interacted with entity management and discussed issues affecting public land management. Furthermore, I physically inspected some pieces of land owned by the entities. From the procedures undertaken, I noted the following; No Observation Recommendation 2.1 16.6.1 of the Treasury Instruction, 2017 requires the Accounting officer to maintain an electronic or manual register. Furthermore, Instruction 10.12.4 of the Treasury Instruction, 2017 requires all fixed assets acquired to be captured in the fixed asset module of the Government Financial Management Information System (GFMIS)-IFMS I noted that out of the sampled 62 pieces of land with unspecified acreage held, 56 pieces of titled land measuring approximately 167.989 hectares costing UGX.11.38Bn were not recorded in the entity land/assets register. I further noted that the 56 pieces of land measuring approximately 167.989 hectares were not recorded in the GFMIS fixed asset module thus affecting the accuracy of the non- produced assets in the financial statements. This was attributed to the fact that the ministry lacks sufficient knowledge and records about pieces of land held by it. The incomplete recording of land in the land register affects the entity’s ability to keep track and monitor all its land and misstatement of the non-produced asset in the statement of financial statements The Accounting Officer explained that the information containing the land catalogue is an estimate based on information from the District production teams and its authenticity/accuracy will be ascertained once the land is professionally surveyed and titled and thereafter duly recorded in the Land Register and Asset Register.Maintenance of Land RegisterInstruction advised the Accounting Officer to always ensure that the Ministry’s Land register the GFMIS Asset module are updated.andI No Observation Recommendation 2.2 16.13.12 of the Treasury Instruction, 2017 requires that to control an asset, a government entity should be the predominant user of the asset. I noted that out of the 62 pieces of land with unknown acreage held, 27 pieces measuring approximately 61.856 hectares valued at UGX.1.865Bn had encumbrances in the form of caveats, court injunctions and encroachment by the local population. Encumbrances hinder management’s ability to utilize the land and pose a risk of loss of land. The Accounting Officer explained that efforts to resolve land encroachment are ongoing, however issues of land grabbing are rampant and given the provisions of the Constitution and Land Act it is expected that this exercise will attract a lot of confrontation.Encumbrance on Public LandInstruction advised the Accounting Officer to resolve all forms of encumbrances to ensure uninterrupted utilization of land for service delivery.I 2.3 Titling and Transfer49 (c) of the Land Act, Cap 227, requires that Uganda Land Commission shall procure certificates of title for any land vested in or acquired by the Government.noted that out of the 62 pieces of land with unspecified acreage the Ministry held, fifty nine (59) pieces (94%) of land measuring approximately 125.788 hectares did not have land titles.of Land titles may result into encroachment, disputes and loss of public land. Management explained that the Ministry has several pieces of land spread across the Country and in an effort to identify, quantify survey and title this land, a Committee was established to undertake the assignment which has established a draft catalogue stating where the land is located, estimated acreage, estimated value and the status of encroachment. However, due to budget constraints the Ministry has not been able to survey and title most of the land.ISectionLack advised the Accounting Officer to liaise with MoFPED for the necessary funding of this critical activity to expedite the process of acquiring land titles.I Emphasis of Matter Without qualifying my opinion, I would like to draw the readers’ attention to the following matters which have been disclosed in note 24 and the memorandum statement of reported losses of public moneys, stores and other assets of the financial statements of the Ministry; A review of the trend of MAAIF’s domestic arrears showed a 4% increase of UGX.0.427Bn from UGX.11.029Bn as at 30 th June 2021 to UGX.11.456Bn as at 30 th June 2022 as shown in the table below; Table Showing the Trend of Domestic Arrears S/N Year End Total Outstanding Commitments at year end(UGX) %DecreaseIncrease/ 1 30 th June 2020 12,956,698,113 - 2 30 th June 2021 11,029,291,938 (15%) 3 30 th June 2022 11,456,443,943 4% Continued incurrence of domestic arrears adversely hampers budget performance in the subsequent year as outputs anticipated in the appropriated budget cannot be attained due to settlement of the arrears. The Accounting Officer explained that domestic arrears arose mainly out of commitments of Government of Uganda membership to various International Organizations and therefore not contracted by the Ministry. I advised the Accounting Officer to continue engaging MoFPED to ensure that all the arrears are settled and in future strictly adhere to the Commitment Control System. 4.0 Loss of Inventory due to Fire Outbreak: UGX.2.4Bn Section 34 (1) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015 states that an Accounting Officer shall be responsible for the management of the assets and the inventories of the vote. On the contrary, a review of the stores management records and inspection of the stores revealed that during the year under review there was a fire outbreak at MAAIF stores located along Buganda Road in which a number of inventory items were lost. Review of the Accounting Officers report on the outbreak revealed the following; i. The stores at Wandegeya are general, storing various items together including fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, assorted stationery, veterinary drugs, vaccines, spray pumps, protective gears, assets like refrigerators, items for disposal, equipment used in entomology (bee smokers, hives) among others. I observed that all items are kept and comingled together without separating them in their different categories. Management explained that the Ministry will in a phased approach organize the stores and ensure inventory items are properly kept. I advised the Accounting Officer to fast track the process of organizing the stores, procure the necessary firefighting equipment and undertake training for all stores personnel and guards on fire prevention measures. Other Matters In addition to the matters raised above, I consider it necessary to communicate the following matters other than those presented or disclosed in the financial statements: 5.0 Implementation of the Parish Development Model (PDM) 5.1 Planning for PDM activities Section 11 (2) of the Public Finance and Management Regulations, 2016 requires the work plan of a vote to indicate the outputs of the vote for the financial year and the key performance indicators to be used to gauge the outputs. During the review, I noted that the Ministry spent UGX.0.233Bn on PDM activities however; these were not provided for in the Ministry’s approved work plan for the year 2021/2022. Further, there was no evidence to show that the Ministry revised its work plan to provide for PDM activities as required by Regulation 14 (7) of the Public Finance Management Regulations, 2016. Failure to budget for activities in the entity work plan not only contravenes Regulation 14 (7) but also makes it impossible to assess the performance of the entity at the end of the year without set performance benchmark. Furthermore, diversion of funds to the unplanned activities renders achievement of the appropriation authority’s objectives difficult. Management explained that there was no additional budget for PDM activities and Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development advised the Ministry to integrate PDM activities within the Ministry Budget. Further, the Ministry has since gone ahead to engage MFPED to provide funding for PDM.

The Accounting Officer explained that management had gone ahead to engage MFPED to provide funding for PDM but are still waiting for the response. I advised the Accounting Officer to continue liaising with the MoFPED and obtain the necessary funding for Pillar one activities to enhance overall achievement of the MAAIF mandate. 6.0 Agricultural Extension Services at the Ministry One of the key mandates of MAAIF is to support farmers within the country with high quality and reliable agricultural extension services. As a Lead Agency, MAAIF is implementing the primary pillar of the Parish Development Model (PDM) known as the Agriculture Value Chain Development (Production, Storage, Processing and Marketing) aimed at supporting the transformation of all Ugandans specifically the households in subsistence production through sustainably increasing the efficiency, productivity and profitability of the subsistence households. Country thereby limiting the intended impact of the PDM with regards to increasing the efficiency, productivity and profitability of the subsistence households. The Accounting Officer explained that the Directorate of Agricultural Extension Services (DAES) closely worked with District Local Government Production Departments and identified the key outputs that they should report on with performance indicators and that the DAES is currently updating these indicators to include relevant outputs of the Parish Development Model (PDM). I advised the Accounting Officer to expedite the process of developing and updating the key performance indicators in line with expected outputs so as to facilitate the Parish Development (PDM) and achieve its overall objective. 6.2 Slow Recruitment Process in Local Governments I noted that the Ministry planned to recruit up to 9,275 extension workers to support the extension function. At the time of drafting this report, only 4,031 extension workers had been recruited which is a performance of 57% as shown in the table below; Table showing Performance in recruitment of extension workers S/N Planned level Total planned Positions Total Positions filled up to date 2021/2022. Variance % Variance 1 District Level 5,658 963 4,695 83% 2 Municipal Level 241 33 208 86% 3 Sub County Level 3,376 3,035 341 10% Totals 9,275 4,031 5,244 57% Failure to provide sufficient agricultural extension services to farmers more especially at the Sub County level affects the production and productivity of the sector. The Accounting Officer promised to engage Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development to increase on the budget for wage in order to reduce on the staffing gap. I advised the Accounting Officer to follow up with the MoFPED to secure funds for the recruitment process throughout the country so as to increase agricultural production and productivity. 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, the Accounting Officer is accountable to Parliament for the funds and resources of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. The Accounting Officer is also responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015 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. In preparing the financial statements, the Accounting Officer is responsible for assessing the Authority's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Accounting Officer has a realistic alternative to the contrary. The Accounting Officer is responsible for overseeing the Ministry's financial reporting process. 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 deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit. I also provide the Accounting Officer with a statement that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the Accounting Officer, I determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. I describe these matters in my auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, I determine that a matter should not be communicated in my report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Other Reporting Responsibilities In accordance with Section 19 (1) of the National Audit Act (NAA), 2008, I report to you, based on my work described on the audit of Financial Statements, that; except for the matter 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 have come to my notice during the audit, are in all material respects, in compliance with the authorities which govern them. 7.0 Management of IT Investments The Government of Uganda (GOU) is making large investments in Information Technology (IT) systems because of the tremendous benefits that IT can bring to its operations and services. One of the key programmes of NDPIII 2020/21-2024/25 is D i g i tal Transformation, in which Government of Uganda, aims to increase Information, Communication Technology (ICT) penetration and use of digital services for enhancing social and economic development. As a result of national prioritisation of ICT, the Auditor General undertook a thematic audit covering three financial years’ expenditure (2019/20 to 2021/22) to scrutinize the management of IT Investments across Government. The overall objective was to assess whether the IT investments in Government are strategically aligned, managed appropriately and focused on achieving the NDP III objective. The procedures undertaken covered: planning and budgeting; procurement, utilization, maintenance and disposal of IT systems; governance, and financial reporting. For the current year 2021/2022, the entity budgeted for UGX.360,000,000 for acquisition and implementation of IT systems and equipment and received UGX.220,000000 A review of ICT activities implemented revealed the following; No Observation Recommendation 7.1 ofICT Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC) requires a systematic approach which includes; initiation, planning and execution. In addition, I made my assessment basing on PS/ST and NITA-U guidance on ICT developments which aim to promote rationalisation and avoid further development of isolated IT systems in MDAs and LGs. During the audit of MAAIF, I observed the following;A total of two (02) IT systems whose costs could not be established were not cleared by NITA-U. ii. The two (02) IT systems acquired above were not being optimally utilized by the Ministry. iii. A total of two (2) IT systems with un specified cost were not recorded in the assets register. Further, twenty-four (24) IT Hardware sampled were not recorded in the asset register in the format prescribed by the Accountant General, which required capturing; owner, designated custodian, specific identification of the asset, risk classification, date of purchase, acquisition cost, estimated useful life, physical location, and condition. iv. A total of three (3) IT systems of unspecified costing with different functions acquired through donations from Trade Mark East Africa, USAID and FAO were not properly recorded in the Assets register. v. I noted that the entity had not undertaken any system upgrade on the two (2) systems procured during the yearsProcurement/Development Use Software/Licenses (IT Systems) and Equipmentand Thei. advised the Accounting Officer to enhance controls and improve compliance with the policies and guidelines.I No Observation Recommendation under reviewmay to duplication of acquisition, procurement of non-compatible solutions and equipment; and general deviation from Government’s efforts to rationalize resources for better service delivery.leadAccounting Officer explained that the two systems in question are being revised to form one single system and Clearance from NITA-U shall be sought for future ICT procurements. He also stated that a Senior Officer had been assigned the role of updating the ICT Asset Register as per Accountant General’s prescription Systems while maintenance and upgrades shall continue to be upheld to preserve integrity and availability of data and the systems.Non-complianceThe 7.2 Disposal and Decommissioning of ICT Assets15.11.1 of the TIs, 2017, PPDA Act, 2003 (as amended) and PPDA Regulations, 2014 together with the PFMA, 2015 require MDAs and LGs to efficiently and transparently dispose assets as recommended. However, I noted;i. Twenty-nine (29) IT equipment whose cost could not be established recommended for disposal by board of survey report were not disposed.disposal of IT assets leads to further diminution in value and loss to government.Accounting Officer explained that the Ministry does not have sufficient budget to purchase new It equipment and as a result, the old items continue to be used.ParagraphDelayedThe advised the Accounting Officer to consider disposing off the ICT assets in accordance with the recommendations of Survey.the Board ofI 7.3 ICT GovernanceIT governance entails leadership, structures, and processes that enable an organization to make decisions to ensure that its IT sustains and extends its strategies and objectives. However, a review of the ICT governance structure of the entity revealed that;i. There were no specific structures that steer and oversee ICT implementation. In addition, there was no evidence of representation in top management. ii. The approved staff structure has a total of six (6) approved positions out of which four (4) are filled with the required qualifications representing 67%. iii. A review of Internal Audit, and follow up of Auditor General’s prior year reports and ICT directives and guidance, revealed that there is no appropriate follow-up of issues raised regarding ICT weaknesses iv. There was no IT risk management framework/policy at MAAIF. I further noted that there was no risk register. v. There was no business continuity plan, contrary to Section advised the Accounting Officer to institute governance policies, structures to effectively manage ICT investments in consultation with other stakeholders.I No Observation Recommendation 4.6 of the National Information Security Policy 2014.of ICT governance structures hampers formulation of appropriate ICT policies, strategies and real time upgrade of ICT interventions. In addition, it may lead to misalignment of IT investments with the overall entity strategic objectives.Accounting Officer promised to strengthen governance structures at the Ministry to manage ICT investments in consultation with other stakeholders. He also confirmed that a draft ICT Policy is being developed and once approved, it will guide the risk management process for IT systems.AbsenceThe 8.0 Management of Public Land No Observation Recommendation 8.1 Plans) Regulations, 2018 requiresPlanning & Budgeting for Land Acquisition Regulation 25 (1) of The National Planning Authority (Development a decentralised planning institution to prepare a development plan highlighting the development needs of the institution. In addition, Instruction 3.9.5 of the Treasury Instructions, 2017 requires the budget estimates to be based on the pre- determined objectives and outputs as provided in the strategic plans of the sector/entity. I noted that the Ministry acquired 1,342.61 hectares of Land at UGX.36.252Bn in the period under review (2018/19-2021/22). However, I could not ascertain whether the acquired land was over or under the planned requirements because the Ministry strategic plan (2015/2016-2019/2020) did not quantify the planned acreage of land. The Ministry budgeted to acquire unspecified acreage of land at a cost of UGX.38.793Bn in the Financial years 2018/19- 2021/22, out of which UGX.36.316Bn was availed for Land acquisition representing 93.6% performance. Further, of the availed UGX.36.31Bn, UGX.36.252Bn (99.8%) was spent by the Ministry during the period under review resulting in under absorption of UGX.0.064Bn. Unplanned acquisitions may result into sub-optimal expenditure as well as idle chunks of land. The Accounting Officer promised to engage MoFPED and ensure that funds are availed as planned. advised the Accounting Officer to in future quantify planned acreage in the strategic plans to ensure that subsequent budgets are in line with the strategic objectives set out the Ministry’s development plan.inI 8.2 Irregular Procurement of LandInstruction 8.10.3 of the Treasury Instruction, 2017 requires an Accounting Officer to ensure that the public procurement management process is in accordance with the PPDA Act. A review of the procurement plan, reports, payment file and Land inventory revealed the following;  The Ministry acquired 1,342.61 hectares costing UGX.36.252Bn in the period under review (2018/19- 2021/22) using direct procurement without the approval of the Contracts Committee contrary to Section 85 (2) of advised the Accounting Officer to ensure that future land acquisitions are done as per the PPDA Guidelines.I No Observation Recommendation the PPDA Act, 2003.  The Ministry acquired 1,081.9 hectares of land for the Oil Palm project at UGX.30.51Bn above the 200m threshold without the Attorney General’s clearance contrary to Article 119(5) the Constitution of Uganda, 1995.Land procurement may result into acquisition of land at higher costs, diversion of funds to fund land acquisitions and committing Government on unfavourable terms. Management explained that the land acquired under oil palm project has to meet certain suitability factors to favour oil palm growing, Settlement pattern (sparsely populated areas) and geographical setting (around water bodies). In addition, management explained that land acquired under the PISD and Aquaculture project was to compensate project affected persons which doesn’t follow the usual procurement methods.Irregular 8.3 Non-Involvement of ULC during Land AcquisitionSection 49 (b) of the Land Act, Cap 227, states that: The Uganda Land Commission shall hold and manage any land in Uganda which is vested in or acquired by the Government in accordance with the Constitution. Paragraph 5.2.5 of the GoU Asset Management Framework and Guidelines 2020, issued by the Accountant General requires the Uganda Land Commission to be informed of the land acquisition by other entities so as to update the GOU comprehensive Land register. I noted that all the 1,342.61 hectares were purchased by the Ministry without evidence of involvement or approval of ULC in the acquisition of land. Non-involvement of the Uganda Land Commission by the Ministry in land acquisition affects the effective management of Public Land by ULC. The Accounting Officer explained that the Uganda Land Commission is informed about land acquisition by MAAIF to aid updating the GOU Comprehensive Land register; however no evidence was availed to that effect. advised the Accounting Officer to always notify the Uganda Land Commission and obtain approval prior to any Land acquisition for effective management Public Land.ofI 8.4 Failure to Transfer Land into the Custody of ULCSection 49 of the Land Act Cap 227 requires the Uganda Land Commission to hold and manage all the land in Uganda which is vested in or acquired by the Government including land acquired by the Government abroad. Instruction 16.13.11 of the Treasury Instruction, 2017 requires that for land, a government entity shall be considered to have control if it has the title. According to the Instruction, the title of government land is usually with the Uganda Land Commission. I was not able to verify if the land titles for the four (4) pieces of land measuring approximately 41.844 hectares with a cost of UGX.32.27Bn that management indicated were titled and jointly owned/held with ULC since the physical titles were not availed for verification. The failure to transfer all government land into the custody of ULC is irregular and affects the Government’s ability to effectively manage Public Land. advised the Accounting Officer to avail copies of these titles for verification.I No Observation Recommendation The Accounting officer explained that this Land must have been transferred to the Private Investors and requested for more clarity on the matter. 8.5 Utilization of Land for Delivery of ServicesInstruction 16.13.12 of the Treasury Instruction, 2017 requires that to control an asset, a government entity usually be the predominant user of the asset.noted that eighty-one (81) pieces of land measuring approximately 260.69 hectares (2%) were not used in accordance with the approved purpose set out in the strategic plan. Instead of using the land for oil palm development, some funds were used to acquire Land for compensation of Project Affected Persons under Irrigation Scheme Development in Central and Eastern Uganda (PISD) Project and Promoting commercial aquaculture in Uganda Project.also noted that 27 pieces of land measuring 61.856 hectares (44%) valued at UGX.1.865Bn (Initial cost) out of the sampled 62 pieces with unknown acreage were not utilized by the Ministry at the time of Audit. Use of land for unplanned purposes defeats the purpose for acquisition which may affect the entity’s ability to achieve its intended objectives and Un-utilized land is susceptible to encroachment.Accounting Officer explained that according to the MAAIF strategic Plans, land is acquired for various purposes including oil palm development, irrigation schemes and aqua parks among others. However, my review of the strategic plan revealed only provision for Oil palm development.the Accounting officer explained that MAAIF had not had a robust programme to utilize all its pieces of land for production and other purposes until this year when Cabinet directed on the need to increase production for Food and Animal Feed Security and associated off taking activities which Programme has started with public land managed by Government Agencies.I I TheFurther, thatadvised the Accounting Officer to ensure the Ministry acquired land is used only for the planned purpose as per the strategic plan and that all land owned the Ministry is optimally utilized.byI 8.6 Register of Leased Land8.4.4 of the GoU Asset Management Framework and Guidelines, 2020 requires a schedule of land or any other asset disposed through a lease arrangement to be maintained following the prescribed format.noted that whereas MAAIF leased out three (3) pieces of land measuring approximately seventeen (17) hectares during the period under review, the Ministry lacked a lease register documenting the total leased land for full disclosure making it difficult to confirm whether the three pieces had been recorded in the lease file held by ULC. This was attributed to the improper management of the leasedIGuideline advised the Accounting Officer to put in place an updated leased land register.I No Observation Recommendation land and the leasing process. The failure to have an updated leased land register affects the entity’s ability to properly manage the public land, which may result into loss of revenue and or fraud. The Accounting Officer acknowledged the anomaly and promised that a lease register documenting the total leased land for full disclosure shall be maintained and updated with ULC once surveying and titling of the land is finalised. 8.7 Irregular allocation of Land by District Land Boards (DLB) Regulation 23 (1) of the Land Regulations, 2004 on procedure in connection with allocation of land by the board requires a person to apply to the board to be allocated land in the district which is not owned by any person or authority. In addition, Regulation 23 (2) of the Land Regulations, 2004 requires the Commission to advertise the application by giving notice in a newspaper with wide circulation to draw the attention of persons likely to be affected by the application, invite any person to comment on or object to the application and thereafter determine whether the applicant should be allocated the land for which the application is made.I noted that the District Land Boards allocated/leased 3 pieces of land measuring approximately 17 hectares that it did not have control over.I further observed that the Pieces of land were allocated without advertising or drawing attention to persons likely to be affected by the applications.in lease management processes could potentially lead to loss of revenue and public land. The Accounting Officer explained that on several occasions, districts allocate Ministry land without the Ministry’s knowledge. In cases where the Ministry has learnt of this unfortunate occurrence, action has been taken, mainly to cancel titles issued in error. Irregularities I advised the Accounting Officer to ensure that all titles under the control of DLB bear the entity’s name as user/beneficiary of the Land. insufficient budget provisions, lack of criteria to guide payments, and lack of registers, among others. Based on the severity of the above risks, the OAG selected court awards and compensation as a focus area for the audit of selected entities for the financial year 2021/2022. The audit focused on the following area: (1) Adequacy of the budget provision (2) Existence of criteria to guide settlement (3) Timeliness in settlement of cases (4) Records management (5) Any irregularities From the procedures undertaken, I noted the following; 9.1 Failure to adequately budget for liabilities arising from court awards and compensations Section 13(10) (a) (iv) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2015 defines an annual budget as the financing estimates for the financial year to which the budget relates, including a plan for the government debt and any other financial liabilities for the financial year to which the annual budget relates. I observed that MAAIF did not provide an adequate budgetary provision for settlement of liabilities relating to court awards and compensations as at 30 th June 2021 by UGX.0.5Bn as shown in the table below Table showing Budgets for outstanding court awards and compensations Outstanding balance as at 30 th June 2021 (UGX) Budget2021/2022 (UGX)forFY Variance (UGX) 549,272,513 0 549,272,513 Failure to budget for settlement of liabilities results in delayed settlement and further accumulation of interest on the outstanding debt. The Accounting Officer explained that management had contacted Ministry of Justice & Constitutional Affairs for information regarding MAAIF court cases to facilitate proper budgeting. (certificate of orders), Human rights violation cases, public interest cases, and high- interest rate cases, among others. Without a clear criterion for settlement of these court awards, there is a risk that compensations will be made in a haphazard manner and may lead to further wastage of resources. The Accounting Officer explained that overtime, court cases have been brought against MAAIF and judgements issued, however most of this information is not timely relayed to the Ministry hence, the inability of the Ministry to quantify the cumulative totals of the court awards for budgeting purposes. He also gave assurance that the Ministry is engaging AG’s office for details for purposes of budgeting for the same and after quantification of the court award obligations, and subsequently budgeting for the same, then guidelines for payment shall be developed in consultation with MFPED. I advised the Accounting Officer to fast track development of formal guidelines to streamline the management and settlement of court awards and compensations. 9.3 Delayed settlement of Court Awards and Compensation for outstanding cases as at 30 th June 2022 The legal maxim that Justice delayed is Justice denied means that if legal redress is available for a party that has suffered some injury, but is not forthcoming in a timely manner, it is effectively the same as having no redress at all. I reviewed three (3) cases where awards and compensations had been granted. Two cases had taken between 0- 4years without being settled as at 30 th June 2022 while in one of the cases details were not availed making it difficult to determine the delay. Delays to compensate affected parties results in further accumulation of interest, and denies the timely delivery of Justice. In the case of MAAIF a total of UGX.10.72Bn accrued as interest due to delayed payments. Details are in the table below; Table Showing interest accrued on unpaid awarded compensations S.N Case Referenc e Details Date of Decision Awarded amount(UG X) Interest accrued (UGX) Total amount (UGX) 1 Civil suit No. 322 of 1994 Namuyanja Olivia and Others Versus Attorney General 25 th April 2019 280,000,000 33,600,000 as at 21 st August 2021 313,602,042 2 Civil Suit NO.047 of 2014: Ambitious Construction Limited Attorney General.co.

In addition, the entity should maintain a central data source of all case-related information. I observed that MAAIF did not maintain a comprehensive register or record of cases showing the case file number, details of the plaintiff, category of claims, the status of the claim (quantifiable/non-quantifiable), stage of the court process, responsible officer, legal representation and likely outcome among others and as such the entity could not make submissions to MoFPED and MoJCA as required. Absence of a complete/credible data source may result in the Ministry making decisions based on inconsistent, incomplete or inaccurate information and may affect the tracking, recording or reporting and management of court cases. The Accounting Officer explained that once they get the required information from MJCA, a comprehensive register will be put in place. Recommendation The Accounting Officer was advised to forthwith liaise with MoJCA and be availed the required information. 10.0 Understaffing in the Core/Mandate Departments A review of the Ministry’s staff establishment revealed that out of 945 approved positions, only 652 was filled and the rest of the positions (293) were still vacant representing 31% staffing gap. Notably, it was observed that the core departments are significantly understaffed with the crop resources directorate at 37% level of unfilled positions, animal directorate 42%, Fisheries directorate 38% whereas other non-core departments such as finance and administration is relatively staffed with a 13% shortage. Refer to the table below; S/N Directorate/department Approved Filled Vacant Percentage 1 Directorate of Animal resources 207 120 87 42% 2 Directorate of Crop resources 156 98 58 37% 3 Directorate of Fisheries 122 76 46 38% 4 Directorate of Agricultural Extension Service 43 30 13 30% 5 Department of agriculture infrastructure and mechanization 39 28 11 28% 6 Fisheries training institute 63 40 23 37% 7 Bukalasa agricultural college 120 103 17 14% 8 National Farmers Leadership Centre 49 30 19 39% 9 Finance and Administration 146 127 19 13% Total 945 652 293 31% I observed a number of unfilled key positions such as Directors, Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners and Principals in these key and core Directorates. The high level of staffing gaps leads to work overload on the existing staff and also negatively impacts on the Ministry’s capacity to effectively deliver its mandate. It further impacts negatively on service delivery. Management explained that the staffing position of the Ministry has since improved following the appointment of 32 new staff and promotion of 8 staff from June 2022 to- date and all the critical vacancies have been submitted to PSC for filling. They also noted the challenge of wage shortfall which makes them unable to recruit more staff. The Accounting Officer was advised to liaise with the Ministry of Public Service and Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development to ensure that the staffing gaps are addressed. 11.0 Management of Pension and Gratuity Government of Uganda (GOU) has over the years implemented a number of reforms and guidelines aimed at streamlining the management of pension and gratuity within the civil service. Despite these reforms, government still faces a number of challenges in the management of pension and gratuity such as; shortfalls in pension payments due to lack of sufficient budgets, delayed processing of pension benefits, non/delayed payment of retired officers even when their pension files had been approved and payment files uploaded on the IPPS/IFMS interface, and use of wage balances to pay off residual pension arrears without obtaining clearance from Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury (PSST) among others. I undertook an audit of the management of pension and gratuity in MAAIF and observed the following; 11.1 Failure to budget for Pension arrears Guideline 53 of the Budget Execution Circular for the FY 2021/2022 holds Accounting Officers responsible for budgeting, management and payments of salaries, wages, pension and gratuity under their votes to ensure that all Public Servants and Pensioners are paid by the 28 th day of every month in line with Government Policy. A review of the entity’s annual budgets and work plans revealed that the entity had no budget for settlement of pension arrears for the year under review. Despite this the entity went ahead and paid out UGX.0.223Bn in relation to settlement of pension arrears. The funds used to settle these pension arrears were diverted from the current year’s pension budget lines resulting into accumulation of more pension arrears. I advised the Accounting Officer to provide appropriate and adequate budget for Pension arrears in line with the budget execution circulars. 11.2 Delayed access of Pensioners to the Pension Payroll Paragraph 5.1 of establishment notice no. 1 of 2020 requires responsible officers to initiate and complete the processing of retirement benefits within six months to the mandatory retirement date. In case of death or early retirement, the process should be initiated immediately the Letters of Administration are issued and/or the early retirement has been granted. I noted that out of the eleven (11) staff that retired during the year under review, two (2) pensioners delayed to access the pension payroll. The average delay was more than one hundred and sixty-three (163) days as shown in the table below; Table showing timeliness of access to Pension payroll NO Employee ID Employee Name Retirement date/death date (A) Month payroll was accessed (B) Time taken (days) to access the payroll C=(B-A) 1. 57567 Albert Stephen Muwaya 16/08/2021 Mar-22 211 2. 57664 Godfrey Sunday 23/04/2022 Yet to access 114 (by end of Aug 2022) Total 325 Average 162.50 Delayed access to the pension payroll denies retirees their pension and also may result in unspent pension funds and accumulation of pension arrears. The Accounting Officer explained that the case for delayed access to the pension payroll in respect to Albert Stephen Muwaya was as a result of loss of National ID which is a requirement for verification before accessing the pension payroll, in line with Establishment Notice No.5 of 2019 and the administrators of the estate of the late Godfrey Sunday had not furnished the Ministry with relevant documents like letters of administration, estate bank account to facilitate processing of survivor benefits. I advised the Accounting Officer to ensure adequate sensitisation of retirees is undertaken during the six months prior to the mandatory retirement date to enable them avail the requisite documentation. Dependants for the deceased should also be informed immediately on demise of their family members of the requisite documentation to facilitate timely access to pension and gratuity entitlements. reports, the payroll payment file amounts were verified as the most accurate and relied on for processing of pension payments. Unreconciled Pension payroll register and pension interface file expose the entity to risks of underpayment of pension and gratuity which may deny beneficiaries their benefits and results in accumulation of arrears which is irregular. Management explained that they had also noted the different amounts between those indicated on the payroll register reports and payroll payment files. I advised the Accounting Officer to undertake a comprehensive clean-up of the payroll register and reconcile pensioner’s entitlements. 11.4 Payment of unverified residual pension arrears Guideline 62 of the Budget Execution Circular for the FYR 2021/2022 required Accounting Officers to submit pension and gratuity arrears to MOFPED before 15 th March 2021 for verification. The PS/ST further informed Accounting Officers that funds to clear the arrears would be released in respective votes in the first quarter of FYR 2021/2022 with a detailed schedule of claimants. It was however observed that out of the 43 pensioners with residual arrears, only two (2) pensioners were verified by MoFPED for payment. I noted that MAAIF went ahead and paid UGX.0.265Bn as residual arrears to forty-one (41) staff/pensioners who had not been verified and therefore not part of the schedule provided by MoFPED. There is a risk that this may lead to overstatement of domestic arrears paid during the year and mischarge/diversion of funds from other expenditure lines. The Accounting Officer explained that following the failure by some pensioners to submit life certificates, there were unspent pension funds which if not spent would return to the treasury and these funds were utilized to pay arrears for new pensioners that had been approved to access payroll. I advised the Accounting Officer to always adhere to the guidance and regulations regarding payment of pension residual arrears. 12.1 Incomplete Project Approvals Paragraph 43 of the Budget Execution Circular 2020/2021 required that new projects that were given conditional approvals and issued codes to enable them access the budget for financial year 2020/2021 due to their strategic nature and finalization of negotiations for external financing to fast track the completion of relevant approval stages in line with Public Investment Management System (PIMS) framework. I observed that the Development of Sustainable cashew nut Value chain in Uganda Project did not complete the mandatory approval stages. Although the project start date was 01/07/2020 with an end date of 30/06/2025; management only developed the concept note and never undertook other required activities to complete the approval stage. For instance, the requirement to prepare a project profile which demonstrates the key results to be delivered by the project and how these results shall be measured, the requirement to undertake a prefeasibility study which demonstrates whether all alternative interventions have been evaluated and the requirement to undertake a detailed feasibility study for the option that contributes greatest to the economy were yet to be undertaken halfway into project implementation. There is a risk that this Project is irregularly being implemented by the Ministry and is not well aligned to the Public Investment Plan. Management explained that the funding of the Project is ringed fenced for seedlings procurement and the completion of the Cashew Nut Development Project process was affected by lack of funding to conduct Pre-feasibility and Feasibility studies. I advised the Accounting Officer to review the viability of the project and if found feasible, liaise with MoFPED for funding. 12.2 Failure to Achieve Project Objective despite availability of Funds During the year under review, Management planned to spend UGX.2Bn on several Project activities out of which UGX.1.955Bn was released. Account Account Type Revised Budget (‘000,000) Releases (‘000,000) Payment (‘000,000) Unspent (‘000,000) Remarks 224006 Agricultural supplies 1,750 1,750 333 1,417 Unspent balanced returned to the consolidated fund at year end. 227001 Travel Inland 200 160 160 - Funds spent onand of thesensitizing farmers, training trainers for March-June planting season although there was no distribution of seedlings made for the period – wasteful expenditure 227004 Fuel, Lubricants and Oils 50 45 45 - Total 2,000 1,955 538 1,417 Failure to absorb funds negates the purpose for which these funds were availed and negatively affects the achievement of the Project targeted objectives. Management explained that the procurement process commenced in good time to bring the cashew nursery farmers on board but by the time the procurement process was finalised it was past the planting season and unfortunately, this fell at the end of FY and as such funds had to be returned to the Consolidated Fund. I advised the Accounting Officer to look into the procurement processes with a view to ensuring timely procurements in order for the project to achieve the deliverables. 13.0 Asset Management Structure at the Ministry 13.1 Poor State of Ministry Stores Physical inspection of the Ministry stores at MAAIF headquarters and Wandegeya revealed the following weaknesses in stores management; - I observed that, due to lack of storage racks/shelves and holders, arrangement of items in all the stores was disorganized and as a result; several materials whether new, expired/obsolete/damaged such as agricultural supplies, stationery, furniture, computers, tyres and expired chemicals were mixed up, and or piled up and littered in the stores, along the corridors and on the ground. - Combustible/flammable items such as chemicals were mixed up with items like stationery, old and new furniture and old and new tyres posing a high risk of fire outbreak. In this regard, the stores at MAAIF headquarters had no firefighting equipment, whereas the fire extinguisher at Wandegeya stores expired in 2021. - I observed that all the store rooms have poor or insufficient lighting with stores personnel continually improvising with mobile phone torches to ease visibility – several store room sections at MAAIF headquarters and Wandegeya had no lighting and can only be accessed with torches. - A leaking roof was also observed in Wandegeya stores which could damage the inventory in stores. - Given that all the burnt items were left intact pending investigations, a large section of the burnt stores in Wandegeya oozes a variety of mixed up hazardous chemicals into the compound. There is a risk that this could cause serious health effects on the staffs and the populace in the area. Refer to the inspection pictures below for details; Pictorial view of the Stores at the MAAIF Headquarters -Entebbe A make shift stores facility(metallic container) with several mixed up items piled on the floor Two different sections of stores with poor lighting and piled up inventory (old and new) –no shelves/racks Section showing mixed up stores (old/obsolete and new) piled up together Pictorial view of Stores at Wandegeya –Buganda Road, Kampala The above anomalies on the status of the stores were attributed to laxity in management of stores. In the current state, there is a risk that more stocks could get damaged/destroyed due to poor storage. The Accounting Officer promised to prioritize improvement in management of the Ministry stores. I advised the Accounting Officer to ensure that the above shortcomings are addressed in the shortest time possible as a way of improving on the management of the Ministry stores and also to minimize on the potential health and financial risks.
