There was a few tense moments recently between the BDF and the Ministry of National Security - and it's all about an audit of the BDF, where credit card charges were flagged by the accountant general's office. The credit card, as we understand it, is issued to the office of the BDF Commander, in this case, General David Jones. Reports to us say that CEO Lovell sent a query to the General Jones asking him to respond to an internal inquiry about some specific charges on the card.
Lovell told us it's a normal administrative matter, but the letter was leaked out to the press to suggest that there had been some accusation of wrongdoing, which is not the case. General Jones says that the charges were made from a fund which the BDF manages directly, and it is used to purchase urgently needed items which the government can't authorize immediately. He says that this has been clarified with the Ministry, and adds that whoever leaked the memo to media were simply doing it to make mischief.
