Slovak Ministry Audit Reviews Overpriced Contracts Following Employee Whistleblower Reports
Share:
The Slovak Ministry of Culture under Minister Martina Šaško is conducting an internal audit of allegedly overpriced public contracts worth tens to hundreds of thousands of euros, following reports from ministry employees. The audit is examining selected contracts but not all potentially problematic procurements that were flagged by staff members. The Culture Ministry, which oversees state cultural institutions and funding for arts programs, has faced scrutiny over its procurement practices as public sector contract transparency remains a significant issue in Slovak governance.
