Africa-Press – Namibia. Auditor general Junias Kandjeke has found that daily subsistence and travel (S&T) allowances for key personnel of the Zambezi Regional Council of about N$44 917 could not be accounted for during the 2023/24 financial year.
Kandjeke’s audit report for the Zambezi Regional Council, produced in May 2025, revealed this finding, among others.
According to the audit report, no documents, be it invitation or proof of attendance, were produced to support the S&Ts for key personnel.
He further found that the minutes for two council meetings were incomplete despite the attendance register being completed.
“The auditors observed that minutes dated 25 October 2023 and 29 June 2023 have not been obtained despite the attendance register indicating the above-stated meetings occurred,” he said.
According to Kandjeke, the regional council reported N$14 357 in its financial statements as a current liability, which is a result of the council’s failure to reconcile the money deposited in the bank against receipts due to possible missing receipt books.
Kandjeke said the regional council did not report their investment in the regional (proprietary) electricity company in the financial statements either.
“The auditors noted negative balances under the supplier age analysis; this is as a result of non-reconciliation of accounts payable transactions and remittance advice against the age analysis.
“From the age analysis tested, this misstatement totalled N$4 068 711,” he stated.
