What you need to know:

  • Ifmis is a critical system meant to enhance efficiency in planning, budgeting, procurement, expenditure and reporting by the government.
  • But, over four years later, and despite the audit report having been adopted by the House, the system still faces challenges.

The National Assembly wants a thorough inquiry into the management and administration of Integrated Financial Management Information System (Ifmis) after claims that it is a conduit for loss of public funds through fraud and errors.

On Thursday last week, following a request by nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi, temporary Speaker Chris Omulele directed that Communication, Information and Innovation Committee to conduct an inquiry that will give way to a system audit.
