Audit reveals GPA spent D1.9 million to buy mobile phones for management

By Tabora Bojang

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.

The parliamentary committee noted that the procurement method was not justified as part of Gambia Public Procurement Authority rules and the argument that it was conducted under urgency does not justify violation of the procurement guidelines.

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.”
