Dar es Salaam. The Controller and Auditor General (CAG) has submitted report to

The institutions include Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH); Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute (MOI); the Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (Tanesco) and Tanzania Mercantile Exchange PLC (TMX).

Mr Ndugai instructed the Parliamentary Accounts Committee to question members of the management and boards of directors of 11 institutions and submit recommendations to his office in order to accurately and effectively advise the government.
After the Parliamentary Accounts Committee (PAC)meeting for the investigations to why the 11 institutions failed to submit the audit books to CAG, the PAC Vice Chairman Japhet Hasunga said that, the committee is for the investigation and the document was handed to speaker Ndugai after completing analysis of what had been collected during the grilling and formulation of recommendations.
Yesterday, the citizen called the national assembly speaker for more details but he could not be reached.
The Citizen further called the clerk of the national assembly Nenelwa Mankanga who said she had no details and therefore  can’t talk about it.
