CSO Withdraws From Planned Protest After DMO Explains Welfare Spending

The Integrity Advocacy for Development Initiative says it will not join a planned protest against the Debt Management Office over reported spending on staff refreshments and welfare items. The group said it sought clarification from the DMO before taking a position. It said the agency explained that the expenditure covered office-wide staff welfare, not personal benefits for the Director-General or other officials. IADI also said the DMO denied that its Director-General had any interest in the vendors involved. The group said no credible evidence of breaches of procurement laws or financial regulations had been presented. It urged civil society groups and public institutions to pursue accountability through verifiable facts, due process and constructive engagement.
