Certain deviations were approved by the accounting officer even though it was not impractical to invite competitive bids,
This was mainly due to lack of oversight by senior management.

14. 5.WOMEN AND GOVERNANCE
Leaders’ behaviour reflects on the organization as a whole. If women leaders are seen to be acting fairly and ethically their decisions will be better respected and are much more likely to be accepted by the communities.
The conduct of individual leaders affects the ability of the organizations to function properly. If a women leaders behave badly, it can negatively affect the quality of their relationships with each other. This can lead to a lack of trust which will undermine the effectiveness of the leadership as a whole.
As community leaders by birth, women leaders should recognize their position as role models.
