Those responsible will have to answer for serious conduct that caused significant damage to public coffers.
This case is a worrying example of how mismanagement and corruption can steal precious resources from citizens and hinder the proper functioning of institutions.
It is important that clarity is clarified about what happened and that those responsible are punished. Citizens have the right to know how their money is spent and to be protected from illicit behaviour.
