The Auditor General Report 2016 | Business as Usual

Prime Minister Mia Mottley shows off a Kensington Oval ready for T20 World Cup

The findings contained in the 2016 Auditor General Report 2016 confirms that there has been no improvement in how government manages its financial affairs under a DLP government. The vast majority of state agencies still do n0t have updated financials available for the Auditor General Office to do its work INCLUDING THE NATIONAL INSURANCE SCHEME.

Of interest to BU is the fact matters regarding theft at the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) was handed to the Director of Public Prosecutions since 2013 and remains outstanding – see page 127 of 177.

Issue 2
5.13 Goods ordered from a firm totalling Bds. $462,786.26 were paid for but not delivered. No due diligence was conducted on this firm which is based in the USA.

Authority’s Response, 2016:
This matter was passed on to the Director of Public Prosecution through the parent Ministry of Agriculture and witness statements were taken from relevant BWA managers in August 2013 by the Royal Barbados Police Force. However, nothing more has been heard from the Police on any further actions taken. So the matter is still outstanding.

    Another gem from our government in action………a government that for this year accumulated a deficit of $762,596,105 million.

    ……………………………………………..

    Issue 1
    5.12
    Approval was granted for BWA personnel to participate in a Utilities Best
    Practice United Kingdom Study Tour from July 10,17, 2010. A company was paid a total of $31,500 for coordinating and facilitating the Tour. Tickets valued at $10,708.03 were also purchased from a travel agency.

    At the time of the review there was no evidence provided to show that the
    tour took place or that these funds were ever recovered. Authority’s Response, 2016:
    One individual has still not refunded the allowances paid to him despite being asked to do so and the company which facilitated the tour has not refunded the fees of $31,500.00 because the Authority has not been able to contact them since their phone contact information went out of service.
    ……………………………………………

    This blatant disregard for taxpayers money must stop and it has nothing to do with BLP or DLP.

    The Auditor General needs to have the power to refer these kind of cases to the Police. Until accounting officers has held accountable for the vouchers they sign, this type of thing will go on forever.

    There must be good governance!

    So we still do not know in this age of the internet who or where is this company? The minister of finance has asked Barbadians to pay a 2% charge on foreign transactions to dampen the need for foreign spending yet they can find over 230 thousand US dollars to pay to a phantom company?

    Well, well, well!

    True.

    For the first time in my near three score and ten i am hearing people saying openly that they won’t pay taxes, and telling me that if I continue to pay I am foolish.

    Why pay a company to arrange a study tour? Arranging such tours is essentially clerical/administrative work. Are you telling me that the BWA does not already have an army of clerical administrative staff, any one of whom should be able to arrange the tour.

    And another thing, government could require staffers to pay for their own airline tickets, hotels, and food and reimburse staff only after the travel has taken place. This would reduce the greed for government sponsored travel.

    Yes I agree with you……………the accounting officers have to be held accountable.

    Final gem as I am tired reading this junk…………..unbelievable……….we have real morons in this country, no wonder the country is in such a mess. Dont accounting officers check the paper work? This one is unbelievable……………………………

    Issue 3

    5.14

    On quotation 1027916 dated June 11, 2010 a company quoted for the
    supply of goods at a cost of BDS$61,200. However, the payment was
    made for US$61,200.

    5.15
    In a previous response the BWA indicated that it had written and emailed
    the supplier requesting a refund of the overpayment. Secondly, the BWA
    was pursuing legal action against the supplier on this matter and others.

    Authority’s Response, 2016:
    This matter was also passed on to the Director of Public Prosecution

    Surely the BWA must have an actual name for the principal (s) of this company, and we all know don’t we that all adults in Barbados’ are on the electoral roll, and that the electoral information including name, address and ID number is in the public domain, in the public libraries.

    So why can’t BWA contact the person. It is really not hard to find people in Barbados.

    Take the Water Works people again…. that building contract with baloney is a treasure trove of brass bowlery. The AG can only highlight cases where PROCEDURE is breeched – not where COMMON SENSE is dispensed with….

    Then there is that business of the new ‘electronic water meters’ – BARE shiite yuh….

    Appears to me that those past and present governments were/are scum-bags. They are no better than those holding up the ATM, who should be dealt the same way as a bank robber when caught.

    If the voting public refuses to ditch those two parties, there will be no change in how things are done. The Auditor general can save time by photo copying his next report with the ‘year’ as is the only change.

    There is no accountability. Therefore, you cannot believe anything stated by the Sinckler or Stuart. In fact, you cannot believe anything coming from Mottley either since the AG reports are the same written script under the then BLP. This is the reason why the country cries for a Mottley government, those who understand what these two unaccountable parties have been doing need to cry, shout and scream for greater power to the Auditor General and anti corruption legislation to protect Barbados little struggling economy.

    With revocable letters of. credit and bills of sight and other modalities, even if we were to say that government practices won’t accommodate online credit card payments and PayPal mechanisms it is confusing to my old mind how one cannot recoup funds for non delivered merchandise

    Unless it is that the director of the agency or minister has in sister that these provisios ARE NOT EMPLOYED.

    No need to be sorry Leacock died unless ya killed him…people are born to die.

    Leacock was a criminal while he was alive and they all knew it, he misused abused and terrorized people who were unable to fight back because of the absolute power given to the holder of the office of the DPP…for 20 years unchecked….he did it because there was no one to stop him.

    Powers given to Leacock by a very badly written Constitution which should be immediately amended, powers which no DPP going forward should ever hold again..that power has to be reduced significantly.

    Both governments are responsible for creating the monster that was DPP Leacock….no matter how hypocritical they now are in singing his praises….they all know what he did and they have to live with it, now that he has been removed permanently.

    An interesting comment from the AG that strikes at the heart of financial discipline in the public sector.

    Whole of Government Reporting

    2.40
    The summary financial statements compiled by the Treasury does not comprise all entities owned and controlled by Government, rather they encompass all Ministries and Departments and exclude statutory boards
    and Government owned companies which report the results of their operations separately. It should however be noted that under IPSAS there should be a consolidation of the accounts of Ministries and Departments and all entities controlled by Government who are in receipt of budget
    support.

    2.41
    The implications of the failure to follow this procedure are that the total aggregate financial position of Government,including outstanding liabilities and assets, would not have been presented.

  25. Hal Austin Avatar

    Any such reporting will not be acceptable. All government departments and statutory bodies should be compelled to submit annual reports, including profit and loss, for which the minister and relevant permanent secretary or CEO will be held jointly responsible. Too many public servants hide t heir incompetence behind ministers.

    We were not invited to the family party at which the beef was shared, so why pray?

    And we did all right.

    “Prodigal @4.07p
    It’s not Lashley to answer.It is the Permanent Secretary who is the Authorised Officer.That was the mistake Mia made when she summoned the 3 ministers to respond to infelicities in their respective ministries.The ministers rightly refused to attend.Mia should know better as she grilled a former PS Bascombe for processing unapproved funds to the MoH.It is rumored he went into early retirement,but the act remained unpunished and based on your data every ministry seem to be ignoring approved budgets and spending wild.”

    Well said, Gabriel.

    One can only conclude that such a deliberate misstep by the LoO was an incestuously political manoeuvre to shield fellow members of the corrupt clans making up the political class.

    From the outset it was crystal clear that such a summons to answer charges of financial ‘improprieties’ had no legitimacy or legal standing with respect to ministers of the Crown. Only accounting officers and their agents can be made answerable to such investigations and charges.

    The legally sound and effective way to genuinely expose those politically-clothed bandits was to do it through the public drilling of those accounting officers who, under politically-fuelled fire, would have vulnerably exposed their embarrassingly laughable managerial incompetence and ‘un-professionalism’ or force them to spill their yellow guts as to the level of direct and dishonest political interference by their confession of merely carrying out instructions from the ministerial centre of the high command.

    By burying such investigatory opportunities in a grave of politically puerile sabre rattling over a clear-cut law the PAC has lost its moral authority to fulfil its mandate as the supreme watchdog of the public purse thereby undermining the ‘independent’ role of the Auditor General.

    When the crown is finally placed on the female head of the clan currently awaiting ascension to the political throne we can expect to see the complete interment if not the completely convenient cover-up of those ‘alleged’ acts and tax evasion deeds of the likes of the go(o)dly doctor Lowedown, the mulatto boy Baloney and Greenverbs the bosom pal and intimate buddy of the now ‘standing’ primate into Paris(s) class of politicians.

    Why you think the hebrews spoke of the sins of the fathers falling upon the children for up to 4 generations…..
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Because the Hebrews understood that one’s children are really natural extensions of one’s very self. For wise people then, NOTHING can be more important than leaving a positive LEGACY that brings blessings to one’s offspring. …Not only material blessings, but also in cultural, spiritual areas and in self-respect.

    Conversely, the sins of parents often result in pain and suffering for multiple generations of offspring… until someone wise enough to see the value of sackcloth and ashes (genuine repentance for their forefather’s sins), comes along and makes it right with Lady Karma.

    …of course this all applies to normal, everyday brassbowlery…..

    Sins of the order of the 400-year-old enslavement and inhuman rape, murder and torture of millions of Bushie’s ancestors via the Atlantic Slave Trade will need to be placed in a special category with respect to its impact on the descendants of those monsters…. especially with jokers like John and his boy Trump…even now trying to justify the satanic evil that was represented by that wicked episode.
