Deputy CAO calls for team work

The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Tivu Mark has called for team work among staff. Tivu who made the remark during Local Government Output Budget Tool (LGOBT) training, intended to highlight the new changes in the system asked the head of departments to work closely with the account assistants to ensure timely production of reports. LGOBT is a software designed to enable districts prepare budget framework papers, work plans and reports.
Tivu said that he had noted that the failure by districts to produce reports in time was as a result of lack of team work. He said that if the districts are to improve on their performance, both the head of departments and the accounts assistants have to play their part so that both the financial and physical reports are produced in time. He warned that management will not tolerate any delay in the production of quarterly reports and observed that the available institutional laws and policies will be used to ensure that the culprits are punished.
