According to OIG investigation, a total of US$3,8 million( out of $4.03 million recieved) in expenditure by the DPRS was non-compliant and is proposed for recovery. The expenditure was mainly related to training for a web-based health information system.
In late 2014 forged and missing expenditure documents were detected, seven out of ten DPRS staff and three consultants were found being linked to the misappropriation of funds.
The investigation report reads in part: “The investigators found that DPRS staff embezzled funds in many different ways including, inflating the amounts paid to hotel venues for meeting facilities and rooms; falsifying receipts related to daily subsistence allowance entitlements, transportation expenses to and from venues, fuel and stationery; claiming expenditures for travel not taken, colluding with and receiving kickbacks from hotels and suppliers; and inflating the number of attendees at a meeting or training or its duration.
