Auditor General Alexis Kamuhire presents 2025 Annual Audit Report to parliament
Auditor General (AG), Alexis Kamuhire on May 6th, 2026 presented to both Chambers of Parliament the Annual Audit Report for the year ending 30 June 2025. The report covers 96% of government expenditure across 252 public entities, with issuance of 297 individual audit reports.
The Annual Report noted continued improvement in management of public funds across all public institutions, with the preventive audit approach continuing to yield results as Frw 1.47 Bn was recovered, down from 9.3Bn last year, indicating enhanced compliance.
AG stated that “Public entities that obtained unqualified audit opinion on their financial statements increased to 97% in 2025 from 94% in 2024, while entities with unqualified audit conclusion on compliance with laws and regulations increased to 83% from 75% in 2024. On realization of value for money, 79% public entities had an unqualified conclusion compared to 66% in 2024. Unlawful expenditure continues to decrease, with Frw 600 million observed this year compared to Frw 2.04 billion in 2024.”
“Implementation of audit recommendations is important, and this has increased to 65% compared 60% in 2024. A notable example is the rehabilitation of houses damaged by effects of construction of a hydro power plant in Kirehe District, during the audit, it was observed that the ongoing rehabilitation of those houses was inappropriate. The audit recommended for better and strong houses. As a result, in collaboration with other stakeholders, 80 new and improved modern houses were constructed for families affected by the project.” By the beginning of the month of May 2026, beneficiaries had started to reside in these houses. The Auditor General added
During his remarks, he also reported that some concerns and areas needing urgent improvement notably: delays in commencement of financed projects, low disbursement rates for funded projects, procurement and contract management, stalled construction works, idle assets and delays in service delivery to the citizens.
To address these concerns, the Auditor General urged the responsible entities to accelerate implementation of projects to ensure prompt achievement of intended objectives, and intensify efforts and accountability in delivery of services to citizens by relevant entities.
He assured the parliamentarians that the Office of the Auditor General will remain committed to promoting accountability and ensuring effective use of public resources for national development and the well-being of citizens.
