The committee has previously been criticized for having "problems with basic management of the business and uncertainty regarding financial follow-up".

The committee has also had a deficit of SEK 57 million.

A few weeks ago, the Moderates, Liberals and Christian Democrats in Karlshamn demanded that the chairman and vice-chairman resign.

Today, Ulla Sandgren (S) and Sirkka Kahilainen (S) announced that they are both resigning.

Based on the audit's approach in its work, I choose to resign from my assignment as chairman of the Committee for Work and Welfare, writes Ulla Sandgren in the mailing.
