PRESS RELEASE

His attention was thus drawn to the following four matters:
1. Last minute land allocations at the premises of new Specialist Hospital (former BACAS) and BSADP
2. Carting away and boarding of official vehicles by political appointees that violate standing regulations
3. Misappropriation of new generators bought for Local Governments
4. Leakages in the State’s payroll
5. The formation of a Taskforce on recovery of government assets.
