Comptroller: Top Defense Ministry appointments decided unfairly

State Comptroller Yosef Shapira slams the system in which the Defense Ministry appoint candidates to senior posts, saying that handling bids for these positions is not conducted a fair manner.

In his report on the defense establishment released today, Shapira says that positions at the highest levels of the Defense Ministry, which are supposed to be selected by a panel, are often chosen personally by the director of the ministry, Army Radio reports.

The comptroller says that the tenders for the posts are not being conducted in a fair and transparent manner, and cites positions such as the leader of a ministry delegation to Europe and the head of the construction branch.
