Social campaigns under the NIK’s eye – what has the control shown?
The ultimate Audit Chamber carried out a detailed analysis of expenditure on social campaigns in 4 central offices: Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM), Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Climate and Environment. The audit covered the years 2020-2023, the period of the regulation of the United Right.
According to NIK, the actions of officials may have violated the law, specifically breach of powers or failure to fulfil obligations.

The notices to the prosecutor's office concern six officials representing the NRPM and the Ministry of Finance.
