ISLAMABAD: The Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) has pointed out financial irregularities worth around Rs120 million in the accounts of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
According to the AGP, the commission had got all election-related printing done from only one printer named Pakistan Post Printing Foundation (PPPF) without inviting a tender for public bidding. The ECP had spent Rs49.2 million on printing from the PPPF.
The AGP further mentioned that around Rs68.1 million were spent on printing from an unrelated accounting head and that this amount was never adjusted in the financial statement.
According to AGP’s audit report, indelible ink worth Rs5 million was left to waste and Rs1.8 million were spent to buy a new car which was not approved by the relevant authorities.
Stating that the ECP failed to clarify these irregularities, the AGP said people involved in this act should be held responsible.
