THE HELD EVIDENCE

What the records say

Each statement is attached to its source and location. An official claim and a finding from review are shown separately.

Official source statements

Official source statement

The scheme row reports expenditure and completion

The row names “Supply of Around pond (Light) of upazila parishad”; estimate Tk 500,000, contract and expenditure Tk 499,400, financial and physical progress 100%.

Official source statement

Dates as printed

Work-order date 5 May 2025, start 6 May 2025, end 5 June 2025; report 30 June 2025. These are reported dates, not inspection records.

Official source statement

Procurement method as printed: RFQ

Column 17 prints RFQ. It does not provide the quotation invitation, supplier selection, signed order or item schedule.

Findings from document review

Finding from document review

March minutes refer to an ADP project attachment

The 17 March 2025 engineering decision approves ADP demands by a referenced attachment. Its project list was not identifiable in the retained 15-page packet. Attendance appendixক is a different attachment. No exact link to this lighting scheme is established.

Finding from document review

January approval list provides context

The 29 January 2025 packet contains a decision and an ADP scheme list. This review did not identify an exact pond-lighting entry. It does not rule out a later addition or a separate approval file.

Checks and results

FOLLOW THE REASONING

What can we determine?

These checks apply to the stated evidence and scope. A flag identifies a question for further review; it does not by itself establish corruption.

Cannot determine from held evidence

Is the exact scheme approval matched?

Cannot determine: a general approval trail exists, but the exact lighting scheme is not linked to it.

See the rule and the evidence used

Rule

General ADP resolutions or similar electrical work do not prove the exact scheme approval. Match the scheme list/order reference.

Evidence used

Evidence needed to continue

Cannot determine from held evidence

Can actual payment be established?

Cannot determine: the scheme’s certified bills and executed settlement records are not held.

See the rule and the evidence used

Rule

A reported expenditure total alone cannot verify payment execution.

Evidence used

Evidence needed to continue

Cannot determine from held evidence

Can the delivered quantity be checked?

Cannot determine: neither the authorised item schedule nor matched acceptance evidence is held.

See the rule and the evidence used

Rule

Compare authorised item quantities with itemised delivery and acceptance. A percentage cannot substitute for either.

Evidence used

Possible explanations to test

Possible explanations to test

These are possibilities, not established explanations or official replies.

  1. Supporting approvals and acceptance may be held separately from the annual report.

    Evidence that would test it

    The scheme file index, approval annex, work order and acceptance register.

Evidence still needed

Limits of this review

  • Source claims do not establish payment execution, current condition or misconduct.
  • Legacy Bangla text extraction is unreliable. Visual screening does not guarantee every blurred line was readable; June expense-table amounts were not admitted where unclear.
  • Not identifying a record in this bounded collection does not prove it does not exist. Different file hashes can contain the same meeting content.
