RAA resolves pending cases
29 May 2009
The Royal Audit Authority (RAA) has followed up on 414 pending cases from the 1990s to 2006 worth Nu 483.612 million. While 205 cases worth Nu 354.917 have been resolved, 209 cases worth Nu 128.695 million are yet to be resolved.
Dorji Tenzin, an official from the RAA, said such cases were pending because of lack of records and the difficulty in tracing the officials involved. “Officials have either been transferred or have retired, and some firms have been dissolved,” he said.
Some cases are left pending because the agencies concerned have taken the officials responsible to court and the RAA has to wait for directions from the court.
