Panuelo Honorable Members of the 22nd Congress Secretary, Department of TC&I  \nSecretary, Department of Finance and Administration Federated States of Micronesia  \nRE: INSPECTION OF CFSM KITTI ROAD PROJECTS (SALAPWUK & MWOAKOT) UNDER PUBLIC LAW 20-141 AND PUBLIC LAW 21-53  \nWe have completed our inspection of the CFSM Kitti Road Projects (Salapwuk & Mwoakot) under Public Laws 20-141 and 21-53. The overall appropriation for both projects was $150,000.000 .  \nThis inspection was conducted based ona request by the Mayor of Kitti Municipal Government (KMG) Pohnpei State, due to concerns of the FSM Department of Transportation, Communication, & Infrastructure (DTC&I) and the FSM Department of Finance and Administration (DoFA) releasing funding to the Contractor when both projects were not completed.  \nWe concluded the following based on our inspection findings:  \n• There were ineffective and insufficient controls in relation to inspection reports or certifications used for the release of funds to contractors;  \n• There was non-compliance to the key terms and conditions of the construction contract agreement; and  \n• There were existing gaps in the process of evaluating bids and selecting the contractor at the FSM Department of Transportation, Communication and Infrastructure (DTC&I) .  \nOverall, we identified a great need for improvement at the DTC&I whose officials are key players in the administration of public projects appropriated by the FSM Congress. There are also capacity needs to ensure adequate officials are available to handle the increasing projects and they are performing their work for the best interest of the Government and the people.  \nWe have referred some of the issues to our Compliance Investigation Division (CID) for further review and evaluation.  \nSincerely,  \nHaser H.
