Allegation
The 1998–99 transition administration was accused of a spending spree — large contract awards and disbursements in its final months — that depleted the foreign reserves it had inherited.
Outcome / Status
No formal investigation reached a public conclusion. The criticism is a recurring footnote to an otherwise well-regarded transition rather than a prosecuted case.
Administration's response
The incoming civilian government reviewed some late contracts but pursued no charges.
