The State Commission for Prevention of Corruption (DKSK) has confirmed the initiation of a formal case regarding allegations of financial and administrative irregularities at the Institute of Public Health (IJZ).
The Allegations
These developments follow public accusations made by Andonovska, who highlighted several concerning practices within the institution. The claims center on potential mismanagement of public funds and procedural violations that have raised significant questions regarding transparency and governance at the state-run medical facility.
- Key Focus: The investigation will examine the legitimacy of procurement processes and internal hiring practices.
- Institutional Impact: As the primary body responsible for disease control and public health policy, the IJZ faces intense scrutiny over its operational integrity.
Official Stance
"The Commission is committed to investigating these claims thoroughly to ensure that public institutions remain accountable to the citizens of North Macedonia," noted a spokesperson for the DKSK.
As of 17:15 CET, the DKSK has begun gathering documentation related to the case. Further updates are expected as investigators review the evidence presented by the whistleblowers and administrative staff.
