In Detail:
The department’s breeding projects have been plagued by inflated prices and incomplete distribution. For instance, chicks were purchased at nearly five times their market value, and rabbits at more than double. Furthermore, records show significant gaps in the distribution of poultry, with no clear accountability for the missing stocks.
These discrepancies highlight systemic corruption, leaving the intended beneficiaries—small-scale farmers—without the promised support. Residents call for a detailed audit of procurement practices and the recovery of misused funds.
