(PPA) and its regulations of 2005, and the Public Finance.No.6 of 2001 (Principal Legislation Revised Edition, 2004).With regards to staff performance practice it was noted that to some extent they comply with some Act and policy demands like announcing tender to the public and establishment of codes of conduct aiming at reducing corruption risks, but on the other hand employing competitive tendering strategies, computation of salvages value of assets and setting standards to measure efficiency in the MNRT are not practice well, the MNRT do not have its own internal policy, user department are not involved in the process, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry do not have the evidence of the disposal of the capital assets based on the values.
