If that is how you think, maybe it is time you stopped thinking. GOK has several constitutional offices that handle and report misappropriation of funds. The auditor General (among others) presents such reports every day. And nothing is ever done.
Why would you think the lady thought that if she informs the president, something will be done? And why didn't she say it straight that she thinks or believes money meant for her house was misproportioned? Why would she claim the house is substandard, and stop there?
It would be easier to believe her story of being threatened instead of thinking what you thinked (sic), then we take it from there.
