ISLAMABAD During the fiscal year 2023-24, civil law enforcement agencies under the Interior Ministry spent billions of rupees on items ranging from jogging shoes and warm trousers to advance payments for boats that were never delivered and excessive purchases of ice, all while disregarding the most fundamental procurement regulations.
An audit study has revealed what seems to be a pattern of erratic spending, partiality for particular companies, and flagrant transgressions of financial discipline.
An incredible misuse of taxpayer funds is exposed by the audit, which covers a number of departments, including the Pakistan Coast Guards, Frontier Corps, and Pakistan Rangers. Examples include unjustified procurement decisions, repeated contract extensions, and non-transparent tenders.
