In Reply Refer to: 198930(BRP) June 10, 1981 Do nt make available to public reading Mr. Frederick A. Kalhammer Acting Deputy Regional Inspector General Africa (East) Agency for International Development Box 232 APO New York 09675 Dear Mr. Kalhammer: Reference is made to your letter of April 29, 1981, in which you state that as a result of our decision, Frederick A. Kalhammer, B-198930, April 6, 1981, your supplemental travel voucher for additional actual expense reimbursement, incident to your temporary duty in Zaire from January 24 to February 10, 1979, has been certified for payment and that you have received such payment. You advise that payment was received more than two years after your supplemental voucher was originally filed with the Controller in Nairobi, Kenya. You state that inasmuch as our decision of April 6, 1981, did not take this time lapse into account in approving certifi- cation for payment on the basis of the previously appli- cable reimbursement rates in Zaire, a higher rate of per diem, we should amend our decision to include provision for payment of interest thereon. It is well settl.edthat the payment of interest by the Government on its unpaid accounts or claims may not be made except where interest is stipulated for in legal and proper contracts, or when allowance of interest is specifically directed by statute.
