Dodgy donation to Vaughhan Gething leads to request for an investigation
WELSH First Minister Vaughan Gething’s political finances were once again in the spotlight today after Welsh nationalist leader Rhun ap Iorwerth wrote to Wales’ top civil servant calling for an investigation into a £200,000 donation.
Plaid Cymru’s move came after allegations surfaced that the environmental company at the heart of the scandal — Dauson Environmental Group Ltd — had borrowed £400,000 from the Welsh government-owed Development Bank of Wales (DBW).
Also at the weekend, Welsh economy minister Jeremy Miles told the BBC he “would not have accepted” the £200,000 donation if it had been offered to him during his rival bid to become first minister.
