De Lille kept in the dark as tourism department’s assets go ‘missing’

An asset verification exercise conducted by the department of tourism has revealed a notable discrepancy between its official asset register and the physical assets currently in its possession. The internal audit has raised concerns as a gap has emerged, indicating that certain departmental assets are currently missing and unaccounted for.[1][2][3]

It has emerged that Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille has apparently been kept in the dark regarding this state of affairs. Despite the significance of the asset verification findings, the minister was reportedly not briefed on the gap between the department's recorded inventory and the actual assets in its possession.[1][2][3]

The situation highlights potential communication and administrative challenges within the department of tourism, particularly regarding how asset discrepancies are reported to leadership. The gap between the official register and the physical assets remains a key issue as the department faces questions over the missing property.[1][2][3]

Voters head to polls in US midterm primaries

Self-described ‘Maga warrior’ will face Jon Ossoff in November; polls close is Alabama, Oklahoma and Washington DC With 55% of the vote counted in Georgia, NBC News projects Mike Collins will defeat former football coach Derek Dooley to win the Republican primary for the US Senate. Collins currently leads by 10 points, 55% to 45%. The Associated Press has not yet made a call, but NBC’s analysis is based on the fact that Collins is doing better than Dooley in the votes cast on election day, which tend to favor candidates, like Collins, endorsed by Donald Trump , who hates mail-in ballots almost as much as he hates windmills. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jun/16/midterm-primaries-election-updates-ge
