Auditor General, we have in front of us a devastating audit showing outrageous cost overruns, rigging of contracts, a serious absence of documents, and the breaking of ethics rules on a sole-source contract for an app that didn't work and sent at least 10,000 people falsely into quarantine. This is the “arrive scam” app scandal. It adds to things we already know about résumé tampering, waste, cozy relationships with useless contractors and, in some cases, activity that was clearly criminal.
What we do not yet know fully is the motivation animating the people involved in this scandal. None of this was necessary, and none of this was normal. There's no plausible excuse for what happened.
Why do you think they did it?
