We also asked the Acting PM about two audits of public interest in his Ministry. That's one at the National Sports Council which points to some lack of accountability, and the well-known one at NICH. Faber gave us updates on both.:..
Hon. Patrick Faber, Deputy Prime Minister
"It is the ministry with responsibility for sports which I led that caused the audit to happen. So we are looking into things as a normal course of doing things and where there are irregularities that cannot be explained, then we will move to correct those. But the issue has been that internal audits - even audits sanctioned by the ministry itself are blown out of proportions before explanations for basic things can be given. That has to be out of place. The NICH audit as far as I know is going to be completed today and we are expecting an initial draft from the auditors today."
We assume he means the external audit is about to be finished. Cabinet had set that audit as the litmus test for President Sapnah Budhrani who is on administrative leave pending the outcome of that exercise.
