Black Book of Government Waste : Black Book of Government Waste in Bulgaria
A black book now compiles cases of ineffective public spending in Bulgaria and reminds citizens that they have the right to scrutinize the spending of their own money.
Some cases are just a matter of mere wastefulness – spending exorbitant amounts without an obvious public need to do so. Other cases offer examples of unaccountability on the part of government officials leading to poor performance and delays. However, there are other stories that raise suspicions of deliberate dissipation in the interest of specific individuals. The "Black Book of Government Waste in Bulgaria" has already come out five times annually since 2015.
