What happens when you do not account for the money is that the cash is deducted from your salary. An unaccounted for imprest or allowance is no ground for firing an employee or impeaching someone. If you read the auditor generals reports the issue of unaccounted imprests is always there. Sometimes govt officers take imprests to attend meetings/functions but the meetings may be cancelled or vehicles are unavailable. A governor may take an imprest to attend a meeting abroad then something more urgent comes up eg the president is touring your county and you have to cancel the foreign trip or covid 19 happens. An imprest is no ground for impeachment. You have offered a good explanation on the intricacies of imprests. You have however "forgotten" to mention that it is illegal to take an imprest before surrendering the previous one. Her excellency the governor (as mahegoat would call her) took the imprests in question in several tranches. The fact that she "returned" the money that late in the day implies that something fishy had happened.

What was the ruling about the new evidence the assembly wanted to produce, I missed that? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Just like the goldenburg scandal when Kiraitu said there was no money lost  Consistency is better than intensity

If justice is not seen to be done, this will breed resentment against the bigwigs as perception on the ground is that the they are responsible
