1. It has come to our attention that funds allocated to district offices have been transferred to schools to enable these schools to purchase items on behalf of head office and district offices. The items purchased in such a way are then transferred to district offices or other offices.
2. This is done to evade supply chain management guidelines and is highly irregular.
3. Directors are requested to immediately put an end to such actions at their offices. All staff must be informed that these transgressions are regarded in a serious light and may lead to disciplinary action. It is imperative that all officials adhere strictly to supply chain management guidelines.
4. The content of this minute must be brought to the attention of all staff under your control and they must sign for the receipt of the minute.
