Deputy Foreign Minister Remains Tight-lipped On Misuse of World Bank Projects Fund At the Ministry.

According to our impeccable  sources,  the Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister for Administration,  Madam Thelma E. Duncan Sawyer  can not account for over USD 140K of the World Bank special projects fund intended for the Ministry, placed directly under her supervision to manage. According to information available to us,  the total amount of the World Bank Special Projects fund intended for the ministry was USD 340k but only 200k was expended by  deputy Minister Sawyer on the ministry and she cannot account for the remaining USD 140K.   ” The ministry only spent 200K to purchase desktop computers, laptops, printers, stationeries, etc. And  the balance money should have covered travels to 4 Missions including Award Program for best performing staff at the Ministry but said amount has not been used for the intended purpose up to now” one of our inside sources explained. Our undisputed  source further revealed that Deputy Minister Sawyer has refused to inform the rest of the staff on the status of the remaining USD 140K and there is no sign that she intends to do so. Another source said the time frame for the project has expired and the balance money is unaccounted for.

 For the past two weeks we have been making efforts to get Minister Sawyer to provide us with clarification on the matter but she has deliberately refused to provide us any information on these allegations but she has been accusing staffers in the ministry of leaking information to the media about her. She even threatened to dismiss any staff of the ministry that will be linked to undermining her . Please see attached the WhatsApp messages we sent to the Minister since last week on the matter but she refused to respond to us… Investigation continues..
