The State Comptroller in his annual report sharply criticized the implementation of the governments decision to initiate a "strategic plan to strengthen and encourage outlying communities."
The report stated that those involved in developing the plan were the same people who received assistance from the government decision, so that the interests and positions of these special interest groups were incorporated in the methods of allocating resources.
The result of this conflict of interests was that the criteria for support included associations centered in stronger socio-economic communities as well as those active in weaker communities which did not coincide with the goal of the government decision.
