The BDP NYEC funds: Setting the record straight

It is with great disappointment that the BDP National Youth Executive Committee finds itself having to respond to damning allegations of misappropriation of funds as reported in the Mmegi Newspaper dated August 18 2010.

The reporter, a Nelson Direng, apparently claims to be in possession of a financial report for the period of July-August.  The BDP NYEC wishes to state from the onset that, NYEC is committed to preparing quarterly financial reports to be presented to the Central Committee by the NYEC Chairman.  We can confirm on the afternoon August 11 NYEC sat to discuss amongst other things a DRAFT Financial Report presented by the team Treasurer.

The initial disbursement of P 9,100  was used by four NYEC mobilisation teams to travel to various regions throughout the country, on the weekend of July 09 - 11 2010, and not what the reporter claims; that the "financial report indicates that one team used P 9,110 for fuel and meals on a mobilisation trip."
