Parliament Expenses Scandal
I’m sad and ashamed to have to report that a scandal is rocking Shalampax’s parliament at this very moment.
A thorough government investigation has discovered that Brokentoaster, a backbench Member of Parliament, used his parliamentary office expense allowance to cover the cost of renovations to his personal apartment. It has been determined that he has charged almost $150,000 of such expenses to his office account since becoming a member of parliament a mere two years ago.
This despicable act on Brokentoaster’s part is unprecedented here in Shalampax. In the entire history of Shalampax’s parliament, with the exception of Brokentoaster, not a single Member of Parliament, not even the lowliest among them, has charged less than $250,000 worth of personal expenses to his or her office account in just the first six months of holding office. Once they get going, the two-year total is usually several times that.
