It was Fædrelandsvennen who mentioned the matter first. Fossum informs news that it is an amount of less than NOK 50,000 and that Eikeland has repaid the money. Eikeland has previously confirmed that he has mixed up party money and private finances.

The central board believes that Kittelsen has not followed through on his responsibility as deputy chairman in the matter. – Magnus Stø Kittelsen has not followed up his responsibility as one of those who certify bills, at the same time he has also not followed up all decisions on financial management as he should.
