No Need For Excitement Over "Undelivered Vehicles", Guvamatanga Tells Auditor General
8 months agoTue, 23 Jul 2024 14:35:30 GMT
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion, George Guvamatanga, has claimed that the Auditor General’s office “misdirected itself” in its recent report revealing millions of dollars spent by the government on undelivered goods.
The 2023 report by Auditor-General Rhea Kujinga, presented to Parliament, exposed how the government had paid substantial sums of money for a range of items, including 97 vehicles and medical and ICT equipment, but the suppliers failed to deliver these goods to various government ministries and departments.
As reported by NewZimbabwe.com, during a familiarisation tour of the Finance Ministry by the Budget and Finance Parliamentary Committee on Monday, Guvamatanga said that out of the 97 vehicles reportedly undelivered to various ministries and departments, about 20 vehicles were still to be delivered.
He said Treasury was tracking all the vehicles, ICT and medical equipment and other services that were undelivered by suppliers given tenders by the government after it had been flagged by the internal audit unit. Said Guvamatanga:
l can safely say that the auditor general misdirected themselves because, within the three pillars of control, those are regarded as issues known to management so l am not saying they should not have highlighted them but they should have mentioned them and say, government has discovered that there were undelivered vehicles.
I have got the numbers here. There were 167 as of June 9th, 2023, so we procured 167 vehicles and we had 97 of these vehicles that were undelivered but we knew them ministry by ministry and we had already written to those ministries to say, can you make sure that these vehicles are delivered.
As we speak, this number of 97 is now down to about just twenty-something.
Guvamatanga added that the ministry was aware of the “missing cars” and following up hence there was “no need for this excitement” on social media over the issue. He said:
I am sorry to say that the Auditor General is still operating as if we do not have a centralised internal audit unit but we will align them to make sure reports are delivered speedily and to make sure known issues are not reported as new issues.
There is no need for this excitement about motor vehicles, about people not knowing what is happening.
We have all the information and we will continue to track and support the work of both the Auditor General and that of the centralised internal audit unit.

Once you hear the tone, you know that he is a 'son' and a thief like Chivhayo. His knowledge of the undelivered vehicles is not competence to brag about as if it's normal. The Auditor General specifically mentioned 97 vehicles. You say you know and you tell us 'about twenty something'. Twenty something is not a specific number. I hope some of the missing cars will not be traced to you. Your hands are not clean. So much talk about your corruption. That's why you're angry.

😂😂 your alleged multilingualism is just another futile attempt to place yourself in rarefied air you do not belong in...You clearly live for clout since you called me out...You are so desperate to classify my carefully crafted barbs into "catching feelings" territory so that your miniscule brain cell can think that it got one over the Erudite 😂😂...You live for clout since you thought you could take a shot at me and Guvamatanga but your alleged multilingualism made you look like a sasquatch in the public domain...Here you are drawing false positives in a vain attempt to paint yourself as a victim...You wanted to roast me but your poor grasp of the English language let you down just like how your knowledge of voodoo economics and shaman finance left you with egg on your face...
😂😂😂I see you now in the psychology field after your brief dalliance in finance sector exposed your pea sized brain..The masses on this comment section and my various other social media pages know what the deal is you on the other hand are just a useless nobody who is trying their damnedest to gain clout and relevance by trying to go one on one with me and then pretending you have better things to do when your brain had the equivalent of an emesis...I am the Erudite don't try me or I will end you...

Well, the truth is that '2023 audit was done and it showed 97 cars missing kumaMinistry'... simple...The whole point of an audit is to make whoever is in charge of monies see pane maGals and do things differently so Audit results don't come up negative and needing explanations. Saka zvekuzoti hee kwasara 20 is now mere reassurance which is what's expected after an audit anyway, it's just that the language the Perm Secretary used is not assuring or convincing, just like you izvezvi aCatcher maFeelings; so I guess I agree that 'feelings and victimhood are no defence against the truth'. It's a shame your delusions of grandeur aren't backed up by actual brains or...grandeur. I've been bored and reading random comments and I pity you and hope you're merely trolling because imo, 'the only thing worse than mere ****ity, is ****ity whilst one believes they're wise.'

I do not have the dullard's equivalent of a Rosetta stone so please learn how to craft grammatically correct sentences instead of trying to box with the intellectual saviour of the masses...I did not catch any feelings but I just put the so called unemployed Pindula finance experts in their place..I do not need a vagabond like you to confirm my intelligence for I already have the backing of the masses...I do not care what a vocal minority filled with people who majored in minors in their entire adult lives who are now just content bashing government officials who actually did something with their lives...I hope you are just arguing for clout sake and not because you are actually part of the subculture or cesspool of the deranged...

lol you're the only one concerned with clout, I don't feel the need to get validation from any 'masses', actually which masses are you on about? You're clearly delusional and in need of some help....I don't care about grammar at all but being understood. Your claimed intelligence should help you know there's no link between language proficiency and intelligence, I communicate well in Shona, English, Arabic, French or Spanish but I don't think that makes me smarter than my Doctor who only speaks Shona and English (worse than myself)...You can call me and everyone whatever you wish and I will not resort to name-calling because I don't know you and I've got better things to do, you likely need help/zvekuita, or most likely both...let me get back to my life.

How can guvamatanga say that he is to track where the cars are, yet he said he knows about them? He is a great thief teammbavha stealing at his greatest level. Zim stealing systems never ends a secretary who protects and lead stealing agenda, its only one day when all this comes to an end. Teammbavha keep on with this stealing government of yours.

The auditor general is a qualified person, she did her job well. Guvamatanga 's office is not in good order. My fear is that the auditor general will be silenced with another portion of the loot,

His response doesn't hold water ,why waiting to respond after the C&AG had exposed these anomalies, as the Perm.Sec he should have been the one to chase up on all those he released money to and did not deliver the paid goods in time, Taxpayer's monies are being abused, yet this Guramatanga is watching, he is not lasting longer in that office.

AG reported as per their findings. Whta you're saying now is that after being exposed you're acting cause your rotten ways of operating are now in light. Just say you're in the process of making follow ups and recoveries. Also management my fooy thsts a public office and the public should be in light of all happenings
