Significance

The report was a highly critical review of her administration's competence in managing public funds and appeared to indicate serious corruption within government.

Impacts

• Reduced fear of sanction among public servants may encourage indiscipline and worsening graft.
• The efficiency of public service delivery may suffer amid growing misappropriation of public funds.
