I sampled sixteen (16) outputs worth UGX.673.89Bn for assessment and noted that seven (7) outputs worth UGX.168.09Bn were fully implemented, while nine (9) outputs worth 245.97Bn were partially implemented. \uf0b7 A total of UGX.3.05Bn was diverted from activities for which they were budgeted and spent on the settlement of arrears. \uf0b7 I assessed the performance of the police Canine unit and noted that; the police dogs are concentrated in the Kampala region despite statistics indicating a significant number of crimes reported in rural areas. \uf0b7 I noted that the dogs\u2019 medical requirements are not sufficiently addressed due to an insufficient number of veterinary staff, insufficient transportation facilities and poor housing for the dogs. \uf0b7 I assessed the performance of the forensics unit and noted that the unit does not have a Laboratory Information Management System and an automated exhibit tracking system. Analysis shows that there was an increase in the backlog of cases in the Forensic unit. \uf0b7 I observed overcrowding at the UPF\u2019s enrolment and distribution centre for Certificates of Good Conduct. This was attributed to the increased demand for the certificates. For instance, the number of certificates issued increased by 170% from 31,671 in 2020 to 85,664 in 2021. There is need to establish more enrolment centres and decentralise the operations. \uf0b7 I reviewed the performance of investigation by the CID and noted that only 56% of cases were investigated and concluded, leaving a backlog of 316,667 cases. This was partly attributed to low levels of automation in the investigation process, limited technical and financial support, and human resource challenges such as insufficient training. \uf0b7 I reviewed the performance of the Express Penalty Scheme and noted an increasing trend of unpaid tickets for fines issued over three (3) years. The analysis revealed that out of the 1.77 million tickets issued in the last three financial years, 700,000 tickets worth UGX.94Bn were still unpaid at the time of audit. This was attributed to weaknesses in the enforcement of payment of traffic fines. Some offenders are untraceable, with no permanent addresses; others are foreigners, and yet there is no policy on enforcement procedures, especially for such defaulters."]], "metadata": {"headings": [{"headings_0": {"content": "ANNEXURE I: SUMMARY OF ENTITY FINDINGS AND OPINIONS FOR MDAs, COMMISSIONS, STATUTORY CORPORATIONS AND STATE ENTERPRISES AND PROJECTS", "page": 372, "level": 2}}, {"headings_1": {"content": "ANNEXURES", "page": 372, "level": 3}}], "page": 393, "document_name": "Annual Consolidated OAG audit reports 2022", "columns": ["", "\uf0b7 Under the JLOS SWAP project, MoLG planned to print 100,000 copies of the local council register and to undertake training of Local Council I, II, and III Courts in 30 Local Governments.

Budget shortfalls constrain management is implementing fully, the approved activities and hence service delivery. \uf0b7 Out of the total warrants of UGX.792.8Bn received during the financial year, UGX.782.4Bn was utilised by the Ministry resulting in unutilized warrants of UGX.10.34Bn representing absorption level of 98.7%. As a result, I noted that of the 64 outputs that I sampled, Eighteen (18) outputs were fully implemented, thirty-six (36) outputs were partially implemented, Seven (7) out puts were not implemented, while Three (3) out puts could not be assessed. Failure to fully implement all planned activities negatively impacts service delivery. \uf0b7 The Ministry did not have a running strategic plan to facilitate achievement of the NDP III objectives.

As a result, I noted that of the 114 quantified activities worth UGX.54.37Bn that I assessed during the audit, 70 activities representing 61.4% were fully implemented, 23 activities representing 20.2% were partially implemented, while 21 activities representing 18.4% was not implemented. Under absorption of availed funds implies failure to fully implement all planned activities which negatively impacts service delivery. \uf0b7 It was observed that the Authority had outstanding payables of UGX.25.454Bn, reported in the statement of financial position, out of which UGX.8.111Bn were gratuity for staff not yet due and balance of UGX.17.343Bn relates to trade payables, insurance claims payable, Gorilla levy payable and revenue share to the communities. This despite the fact that the Authority had the cash resources which could have been utilized to settle the payables. Delayed settlement of outstanding payables exposes government to a risk of costly litigation. \uf0b7 I noted that there were several ongoing cases of claims on land in the gazetted areas under the management of Uganda Wildlife Authority, as evidenced by active court cases in some of the National Parks namely: Lake Mburo National Park, Mt. Elgon National Park, Semiliki National Park and Matheniko Bokora. This was attributed to increased encroachment to the National park land. There is urgent need to resolve these cases to prevent loss of gazetted land areas that could affect wildlife conservation. \uf0b7 I noted that the Authority did not have an approved comprehensive management plan to manage the invasive and exotic plant species problem that has covered an average of 30% of the surface areas of Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mburo Park, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo Valley National Parks. The invasive species contracts the grazing areas for herbivores animals and affect the rangeland and environmental quality that consequently reduce wildlife population of grazers such as hippos, buffalos, zebras, topis, and Uganda Kobs. \uf0b7 I noted that several procurements to the tune of UGX.61.169Bn were not executed as of 30th June 2022. This was attributed to delays in procurement processes and partly due to effects of COVID-19 that affected the implementation by the Authority that was operating a contingency budget that had scaled down on the capital investments. Failure to implement planned procurements leads to non-provision of planned services. \uf0b7 Over the last three years, UWA procured and installed three (03) different Accounting Systems, namely: The Sun System, Microsoft Dynamics GP and the Microsoft Business Central System. The frequency of change of systems was unjustifiably high and costly to Government. I observed that there were weaknesses in systems change over, since management did not properly identify challenges that would require a switch to a new accounting package. Such a practice leads to wasteful expenditure on systems acquisition and no value for money."]], "metadata": {"headings": [{"headings_0": {"content": "ANNEXURE I: SUMMARY OF ENTITY FINDINGS AND OPINIONS FOR MDAs, COMMISSIONS, STATUTORY CORPORATIONS AND STATE ENTERPRISES AND PROJECTS", "page": 372, "level": 2}}, {"headings_1": {"content": "ANNEXURES", "page": 372, "level": 3}}], "page": 489, "document_name": "Annual Consolidated OAG audit reports 2022", "columns": ["", "\uf0b7 A review of the draft financial statements revealed that a total of UGX.600,000,000 was reported held on a suspense account.

This creates an opportunity for manipulation and misappropriation of salary/pension funds and could also lead to over/under payments of salary/pension.\n- I noted that all the relevant documents to
