In August 2011, the National Executive Council in the then O’Neill-Namah government, established the Investigation Task Force Sweep.
Their main order of business was to investigate allegations on the massive misapplication of funds in the Department of National Planning.
What they found, was that between 2009 and 2011, billions of development funds were parked at National Planning Department, instead of the Departments of Finance and Treasury, or other implementing agencies.
