Government Violations to be Referred to Judiciary System [Archives:2000/18/Local News]

The Committee of Financial Affairs at the Parliament recommended that government violations related to illegal spending of revenues should be referred to the judiciary system, especially those violations of 1995 and 1996. These expenses are spent without any legal warrant, the committee noted. In its final report, the committee called for assigning the Central Organization for Control and Audit (COCA) to refer these violations to court, follow them up and then report back.
The committee has also recommended that the Parliament directs the government to sanction COCA to audit and check all the previous spendings.
MPs called for interrogating the government in regards to its spending YR 4,775, 700,235 in 1996 and 1997. In addition to $877,338 distributed over all the governorates of the Republic. It’s worth noting that complains from people owning hotels, shops, restaurants, stores, etc have increased these days due to imposing arbitrary cleanliness fees ranging between (5,000-40,000) per month in case of hotels and between (2,000-5,000) in case of restaurants.
