The 2020 audit report on the Gambia Ports Authority has revealed “serious procurement issues,” among them a purchase of mobile phones for management amounting to D1.9 million.
The chairman of the Public Enterprises Committee, Lamin J Sanneh, made this disclosure in his committee’s report on the activities and audited financial statements of SOEs for 2019 and 2020 presented before the plenary at the National Assembly Thursday.
Continuing, the PEC chairman said the auditors also noted differences in the amount confirmed by the supplier and the amount recorded in the general ledger for “the payable.”
