    Unless public servants are held accountable , these mismanagement of public funds will repeat again and again. People involved must be punished , with ban to serve public office anymore! Also a police investigation to ensure that there are no misappropriation of public funds. Incapable labour council. Watch out for, someone would next bravely say ,we have no choice but to increase the council taxes.
