Culture Minister Blames Inherited Problems After Court Audit Criticism
Share:
Slovakia's Culture Minister Martina Šimkovičová dismissed criticism from the Supreme Audit Office (NKÚ), attributing identified problems to "non-systematic management and replacements" that she claims to have inherited from previous administrations. The minister's comments came in response to an audit report, with Deputy Prime Minister Veronika Kusá noting that the reconstruction project in question had been "closely monitored." The Supreme Audit Office serves as Slovakia's independent financial watchdog, conducting reviews of how public institutions manage state funds and implement government programs.
