A forensic audit report has revealed that at least N11.9 billion of public funds were carted away from the treasury of Kwara State between 2011 and 2019 without any lawful tie to any project or programme.<\/p>\n

According to the audit report commissioned by the state government, N2 billion cash withdrawals not tied to any project or official expenditure were made within eight days in February 2019, barely one month to the general election.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement released on Thursday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Kwara State governor, Rafiu Ajakaiye.<\/p>\n

According to him, the revelation came during the submission of the report to governor Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq SSAC and Professionals, a leading consulting firm who conducted the audit.<\/p>\n

Partner at the SSAC and Professionals Anthony Iniomoh, said the report was in two volumes covering Internally Generated Revenue; Capital Receipts; Internal and External Loans<\/a>; Recurrent \/ Overhead Expenditure; Personnel Cost (Salaries and Wages); Capital Expenditure; Assets Disposed; Kwara State Internal Revenue Service; Infrastructural Fund Kwara (IFK); Harmony Holdings Limited; amongst others.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cA few highlights of our findings may be necessary for the record. Our forensic audit revealed a colossal pilfering of N11,981,268,709 which we recommended should be recovered to the public coffers. Similarly, we recommended to the state government to prosecute certain officers and companies in addition to claiming exemplary damages on transactions totalling N6,023,358,444, amongst other key finding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is especially so in the cases of firms that we observed were paid huge public funds without any evidence of work done on record. In one instance, records show that a firm that was incorporated at the Corporate Affairs Commission on 14th June, 2016 was paid by the state government for a contract it purportedly executed for the state in April of the same year. It became apparent that this was a preconceived attempt to defraud the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an instance of public officer getting paid at two different places for years, which is a clear breach of the law. Other infractions arising as a result of obvious conflict of interest and violation<\/a> of due process were also spotlighted for the government to draw up new policy instruments to prevent such in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was also a cash withdrawal within 8 days of N2.06 billion in February 2019 which was of interest to the audit. However, no documentation was made available to validate the purpose for which the money was withdrawn. There were also several other cash withdrawals within the state over the period running into billions of Naira which we could not validate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese and others have been recommended to be referred to an Administrative Panel of Enquiry. Furthermore, the audit revealed that loans were obtained by the Kwara State Government within the period under review.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe elements of these loans could not be validated. Above all, the bank accounts to which these loans were disbursed and what the loans were used for could not be established or validated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report suggested to the government to prosecute some individuals and firms indicted in the two volume report, while other issues were to be referred to administrative panel of inquiry for some individuals to explain their roles in the many infractions.<\/p>\n

On his part, the governor said the revelations were truly disturbing but hardly surprising, given the patterns of events in those years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank you for the robust work. It confirms what we have been saying all along,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also saw that it has taken a bit of time and I know that there were certain deliberate efforts to obstruct your work. That was why it has taken some time because you have made certain complaints about that and we tried to push those that were supposed to open the doors to make the doors easy for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour report, like others, will help us to steadily put the state in the right direction to deepen transparency and accountability<\/a>. We will go through the report fully and look into your recommendations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith few things you said now, it is mind-boggling especially withdrawing cash of over N2bn a month to the election and all sorts of infractions that took place. Certainly, we shall progress from here and do the needful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
