Poland’s Supreme Audit Office (NIK) has criticized the Ministry of Justice for spending over 160,000 zlotys on a carnival event for employees and their families in January of last year. The event included activities such as dance shows, karaoke, and a ball pit. NIK deemed the expenditures “improperly targeted,” questioning the use of public funds for these recreational activities. The Ministry of Justice, led by Adam Bodnar at the time, is defending the event's organization. Officials argue the event was a legitimate attempt to foster morale among staff. This audit raises questions about financial priorities within the Ministry. The Ministry has yet to release a detailed response addressing the specific concerns raised by NIK.
