government officials discuss tackling mismanagement, embezzlement"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The meeting took place this Thursday in Senate and was chaired by Senate President, Bernard Makuza.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting is discussing measures to put in place to address queries which were raised by the Office of the Auditor General reports about mismanagement of government resources.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting brought together different ministries, government institutions receiving big amounts of the national budget, National Public Prosecution Authority and Rwanda Investigation Bureau among others.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking while opening the meeting, Makuza said that though Rwanda has remarkably developed, it should have been more advanced in development if the resources were not embezzled. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe step that has been made would have been multiplied if the resources had been used what it was allocated for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that every year, same institutions appear in the Auditor General\u2019s report for mismanagement and little is done to address the queries. <\/p>\n<p>Makuza said that all institutions have competent employees, but the problem remains with some institutions which do not address mismanagement issues.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cAuditor General and Parliament\u2019s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) always assess and summon people in charge, but, why do some institutions always bring similar explanations on same things,\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>Using examples, he said that there are issues in Vision2020 Umurenge Programme funds which are embezzled before they reach beneficiaries and non-performing projects among others.<\/p>\n<p>He said that mismanagement of government resources deter the country from attaining the targeted vision and cause critical effects to people.<\/p>\n<p>He said that Rwanda will not tolerate people who always mismanage government resources and call them mistakes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-24964 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
