Belize Youth Movement Expresses Outrage About the National Sports Council Audit

Back to the issue of the audit of the National Sports Council, the Belize Youth Movement is expressing outrage at the fleecing of public funds at the National Sports Council by ex-ministers and cronies of the government. It notes that in a single year, according to an audit, close to one million dollars was not spent on athletes but by a few select individuals.  The BYM states that the Auditor General’s report revealed that when athletes were to be given approximately fifty dollars stipend per week when travelling overseas, persons such as Ivan Ayuso ended up with more than four hundred thousand dollars in their bank accounts. The BYM is calling on those involved to be dealt with swiftly and to the fullest extent of the law. It also demands that criminal charges be brought upon those who have been called in the Auditor General’s report for wrongdoing.
