The Ministry of Gender and Family spent almost MVR1 million (US$64,703) illegally in 2017, an audit report revealed.
The financial audit for the ministry flagged eight points, including the failure to submit a report on expenditure and income as mandated by finance laws.
The ministry also handed over projects without agreements and spent more than MVR85,000 on the salary of a suspended employee.
“An assistant social worker at the Fuvahmulak atoll children service centre was on suspension from 9 March 2017 to 1 February 2018 and was not tasked with any work, but was provided with the salary for this period,” the report read.
