Former Stavanger mayor Kari Nessa Nordtun (Ap) paid back NOK 18,000 to the municipality after it was discovered that expenses for representative clothing had been covered by the municipality’s funds. That is written by the Alting. She made the purchases in 2019 and 2020. Nessa Nordtun is now minister for knowledge. The purchases were made in connection with her official duties, but after review, Nordtun herself chose to refund the amount. The case has caused discussion about how public funds should be used for representation, and the former mayor has stated that she wants full transparency about the case. – The municipality has now said that they should have handled the matter differently. Although they say they won’t claim a refund because of the time that has passed, I’m keen to get things right. If I have received something I should not have received, I will pay it back. That is why I have paid back the original amount in full, says Nessa Nordtun to the Altinget.
