unit, 24 staff and director of finance and supplies department and the 15 staff

chairman on the importance of implementation of the report and the dangers of
disregarding the report/ the dangers of not taking proper action on the report.
It was also recommended that Auditor General of local governments should make
sure that the internal audit unit of the local government report frequently as
required to the local government chairman on all matters that require his/her
