St. Ann Municipal Corporation Office of the Contractor General November 2017
Director of Finance who does a counter check between
the programme submitted by the Member of Parliament
and the payment voucher submitted, to ensure that these
are the same names and the amount as submitted by the
Member of Parliament.
Q:
What would account for what your notes here, of no
documents located for Blyden Brown and other
contracts that you are referred to, what would account
for that? It continues throughout the document which
is labelled –
A:
‘
No documents located’, it is difficult to say what could
have resulted from these; because normally we have
a filing system where copies of all programmes
submitted by the Member of Parliament are kept on
the respective files in the main office and the finance
office
.
Q:
Once again the said contract, Blyden Brown contract
date, 6
th
of December, 2013, your note is ‘not signed’.
So there is no signature that work was satisfactorily
done yet still you were able to find a cheque, is that
irregular?
A:
A voucher – payment voucher not signed but yet a
cheque has been prepared, that would not be the norm.
The Superintendent would sign work satisfactorily
completed -
Q:
I am showing you the actual document that you sent to
us to accompany the notation you made on what you
had called Appendix 3, which we now call Exhibit
AG(2). You have the note under the column Name of
Council Officers, Endorsed; Work Satisfactorily
complete (Not signed).
A:
It’s not signed here.
