The
Food Safety and Quality Authority (FSQA) failed to submit their 2016 to 2019
financial statement before the Select Committee on Health, Women, Children,
Disaster, Humanitarian Relief and Refugees at the National Assembly on
Wednesday.
Zainab
Jallow, director general of the FSQA said that the authority had only been
audited for the years 2013- 2015 by the National Audit Office, while the
remaining years from 2016-2019 are unaudited.
She
added that this is the first time the FSQA has been called by the Select
Committee on Health to represent their activity report, management letter and
financial statement for scrutiny.
The
committee has now given FSQA a three-month period to prepare the financial
statement, management letter and activity report for proper scrutiny.
