The two leaders of Prince George’s County are requesting the return of $7.6 million the council awarded to an organization amid questions over its ties to Council Chair Krystal Oriadha.⁠
⁠
In a letter issued Tuesday to the Edward Charles Foundation, County Executive Aisha Braveboy and Oriadha said they’re requesting the return of the funds in part to “preserve the public trust.”⁠
⁠
"Getting the taxpayers' money back right now is the best way to protect it while we work with the County Council to correct deficiencies in the Council's grants program,” Braveboy said in a statement.⁠
⁠
Braveboy requested that the county auditor initiate an independent investigation to focus on how the funds were used and any fees charged by the foundation.⁠
⁠
On Tuesday, Oriadha said has been no wrongdoing but that she supports clawing the money back to promote transparency.⁠
⁠
“What we're gonna prove is that every dollar was accounted for, that every dollar was spent accurately, that every dollar still exists, and that every single dollar is still gonna go to the residents of Prince George's County,” she said.⁠
⁠
For months, News4 has investigated and reported on the awarding of taxpayer funds to local organizations, including some with close ties to councilmembers.⁠
⁠
Earlier this month, the News4 I-Team raised questions over the $7.6 million award the council awarded to the Edward Charles Foundation, the fiscal sponsor of the local organization Community on the Frontline. That organization is run by Janna Parker, whom Oriadha has called on social media her “best friend.”⁠
