Kuala Lumpur: The monitoring committee set up to monitor the Malaysian Emergency Response Services (MERS) 999 project failed to administer the government contract resulting in improper payments amounting to RM13.54 million.
The Auditor-General's 2012 Report tabled in Dewan Rakyat Tuesday said the Project Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (JPPP) had verified RM1.62 million compared to the cost in the Bill of Quantity amounting to RM1.08 million, resulting in an overpayment of RM0.54 million.
"The weakness of the project monitoring committee and the negligence of the ministry's officers had caused improper payment amounting to RM13.54 million," the report said. |
