The call was made at a meeting with MMDCEs, Coordinating Directors, Finance Officers and Internal Auditors at the RCC Conference Hall.
Mrs. Lilian Baeka,The Chief Director of Regional Coordinating Council described the continued infractions as unacceptable, highlighting issues such as poor documentation, unaccounted expenditures, weak management of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) and delays in responding to audit queries.
