Despite claims that funds are being reallocated through a phased strategy — with no public tracking — the opposition calls it a failure. The victim’s grieving sister, now raising her infant, says more must be done. The minister offers condolences, acknowledging too many women have died — but accountability remains elusive as the state faces mounting scrutiny.
