De»r Sir Kupert,
Please refer to your letter No*261/2/49 of
the 18th July.
£• I have discussed this unofficially with Sheikh
Abdulla Jabir (in charge cf education) who fully
appreciates the difference between the giving of expert
advice and the performance of routine duties of financial
accounting and control; and the only objection he has to
doing the routine work involved is the same as I suspect
Covington has: work and expense. But Abdulla Jabir
agrees unofficially that this should properly be a
charge on the Kuwait Government.
3. I agree with you that it is a pity to miss any
opportunity of helping the Kuwait Government with our
advice; but I am not sure that, now the hostel is estab
lished, we are likely to get cuch value for time and
money spent in doing their routine work for them.
However, in view cf your remarks, I did not take the
matter further.
4. If you decide to proceed with Covington’s
suggestions we will have to refer the question to
the Ruler officially, and it will help considerably
at the time if we can suggest to him the names of
suitable firms of accountants in Cairo with an estimate
of their charges. He can then decide whether to entrust
the work to them or to appoint an accountant from here
solely to look after the hostel accounts.
6. I am sending a copy of this letter to Burrows
in the Eastern Department.
Yours ever,
sgd. G.N. JACKSON.
