The opposition led by the Congress alleged that the state government has hidden this “special report” on the Kiifb of the public.
“The state government must clarify why this report is not published to date.
There are serious charges against the Kiifb in this audit report,” said the opposition leader VD Sathean.
“In addition to the reports submitted in the Assembly, this particular report is submitted to the government at the same time.
But it is stored as a secret and now has come out through information action.
It has registered all the backdoor appointments made there and costs that do not need to be done in Kiifb , “Satheani said.
The government must conduct a detailed probe into the allegations reported in the audit report because the funds mobilized by Kiifb are public money from motorized vehicle tax and fuel Cess, he said.
