The Swedish Parliamentary Ombudsman, Per Lennerbrant, has demanded answers from Anna Kinberg Batra regarding her connections to three individuals hired at the Stockholm County Administrative Board.

The inquiry focuses on the recruitments of Anna Borgs, Gunnar Ekman, and Mikael Jeppson, questioning the propriety of these hires, including whether Kinberg Batra's godmother relationship with one of Borg's children influenced the decisions.

The County Administrative Board is conducting an internal investigation into the matter, addressing concerns of nepotism and the procedures followed before these applications were submitted.

Questions also touch on the necessity of a new organizational developer role and the considerations surrounding job postings.

Responses to the Ombudsman's inquiries are expected by July 8.
