| Description | The Supreme Audit Office of Poland (NIK) conducted the audit on the construction of the broadband Internet infrastructure in Poland. Only after the Supreme Audit Office pointed out irregularities in the supervision of the project, the voivodeship board started ad hoc inspections at the project implementation site. An incorrectly conducted competition for the allocation of over PLN 1 billion, failure to enforce contractual obligations from project implementers and long delays in investments - this is how NIK evaluates the construction of broadband internet in the Lubelskie Voivodship. The project’s implementation, financed by the European Regional Development Fund, attracted the attention of the European Anti-Fraud Office OLAF. The results of the audit also indicate that the implementation of another goal resulting from the European Digital Agenda is at risk - ensuring access to the network with a capacity of at least 100 Mb/s to all households in Poland by 2025. The audit carried out by the NIK shows that over two and a half years after the start of the investment, less than 4% of the target network was ready, which covered approx. 4% of the planned number of households. In some places, the new network duplicated the existing one, and almost half of the power poles made available for its installation, their owner, i.e. PGE Dystrybucja, planned to modernize or liquidate within 10 years. |
