[Huey George] - UK Treasury Statement

Day 2,420, 22:00 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Huey George
Statement Regarding the transfer of funds in the UK Treasury

Four days ago I recorded that the funds from the Government's MM fishing organisations;
eUK Exchequer
Forex Reserve
eUK Royal Mint
41 Commando
43 Commando
Special Forces Russia
HMS Fezoj

had been transferred to a location unknown to me.

The funds totaled 296,437.00cc and 20 Gold.

I secured the eUK Royal Mint, the only other Organisation with significant funds in, other than the Bank of England which I had changed the password weekly since my appointment as Governor due to my cautious nature, so at the time I was the only one with access to it. I logged on to the IRC to speak with the Country President Appleby once again. Our conversation is presented below;

In my mind the transfer of Country Account funds to Government Organisations is a Congressional decision in conjunction with the Country President. The Ministry of Finance is there to advise regardless whether or not they agree personally.

The transfer and spend of the funds in Government Organisations is the Country President decision in conjunction with Congress. Once again, the Ministry of Finance is there to advise regardless whether or not they agree personally.

This is because Congress and the Country President are elected and accountable to outline, explain, justify their decisions.

On a personal level I trusted our Country President Appleby as the electorate had done by electing him as Country President. So if he tell me he has moved the funds of the UK Treasury to save for future long term Government use I believe they only be used for future Government use even if this action could be regarded as exceeding the remit of a Country President. I'm also aware that a Minister of Finance that serves their own interest above their Country President's or Congress's can be easily replaced. As Minister of Finance I was happy I still had the Bank of England funds to complete the rest of the training ground loans I had agreed with UK citizens during the promotion period.

I do have my own views regarding all financial events, the current political situation of the UK and my own desire for greater transparency in Government which may have come across in the IRC logs however while I'm not shy about sharing them I do try my best not to have them interfere directly with what I see Minister of Finance responsibilities being, as I have many other outlets to try and inform Government of my views.

To be honest I'm not sure there ever was a 'right' course of action to take in this situation however I supported Appleby in his decision as I felt it's what the Governor of his cabinet should do. I respect him enough too, give him the leave to justify his actions to the electorate while he remained our elected Country President. I informed BigAnt as soon as he became accountable for the UK's Treasury
