Msambweni NG-CDF Boss Under Fire Over Missing Records for 111 Projects

Msambweni Constituency Fund Manager faced intense questioning from the National Assembly’s Decentralized Funds Accounts Committee (DFAC) after failing to account for 111 projects implemented using National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) allocations.

Lawmakers raised concerns over accountability gaps and missing documentation tied to projects spread across several financial years.

The scrutiny emerged during the examination of Msambweni Constituency accounts for the financial years 2016/17 to 2022/23. MPs relied on findings from the Auditor General’s report, which flagged inconsistencies and raised questions about whether the constituency fully implemented the reported projects.

As a result, lawmakers raised concerns about transparency in the use of public funds meant for development.

“We expected you to file these documents in advance before coming for the meeting since we notified you of this meeting three weeks in advance,” said Committee Chairperson Hon. Gideon Mulyungi.

Audit Findings Expose Verification Gaps

According to audit observations presented to the committee, the constituency office failed to provide sufficient evidence to confirm the existence, status, and completion of the 111 projects under review.

In addition, the Auditor General noted that officials did not submit key supporting documents during the audit process. Consequently, verification of project implementation became difficult.

Among the missing documents were coloured photographs of completed works and official completion certificates. These records normally confirm that funded projects reached completion and met required standards. Without them, the committee said it could not independently verify project delivery.

MPs Question Scale of Documentation Failure

Members of the committee expressed frustration over the constituency office’s failure to present the required documents despite receiving prior notice. They stressed that proper record-keeping remains essential for oversight and accountability in public fund management.

Furthermore, lawmakers questioned how 111 projects could lack basic documentation. They warned that weak records weaken transparency and increase the risk of misuse or misreporting of public funds.

Committee Demands Full Compliance

The committee emphasized that all NG-CDF-funded projects must remain fully documented and readily available for audit checks. This approach, it said, ensures accountability and guarantees value for money in community development.

Finally, Hon. Gideon Mulyungi directed the Fund Manager to compile and submit all outstanding documents as required by the Auditor General within three weeks. The committee will then review the records before making further determinations.
