What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

An audit report revealed serious procurement and asset management irregularities within the Ministry of Justice and Labour Relations due to prolonged funding constraints. The report detailed transactions where the ministry paid N$1.9 million for three Toyota Hilux double-cab vehicles without treasury authorization. Additionally, the ministry accepted eight Toyota Urban Cruisers instead of specified Toyota Corolla 1.8 sedans, a substitution made based on verbal communication without written approval.
