Audit observed that, four officers were directed to represent the Executive Secretary at an award: African Leaders of Integrity in Ghana. Two payment vouchers 8566/001 and 8569/006 dated 01/03/2017 and 11/04/17 respectively, for a cumulative sum of N960,980.00, were raised and paid as air ticket and Warm Clothing Allowance for the trip. Approval from Head of Civil Service of the Federation for this foreign trip in line with the provision of the above circular was not sighted or attached.
This anomaly is due to the failure of the Executive Secretary to strictly comply with the provisions of extant circulars, in this case public officers entitled to warm clothing allowance when on an official trip abroad.
The Executive Secretary is required to account for the sum of N960,980.00 incurred on the journey without requisite approvals. Evidence of the recovery should be forwarded to the Public Accounts Committee of National Assembly. Sanctions in line with FR 3106 should apply.
