WP shows what it means to be "Accountable" & "Transparent"

Did you know that WP had actually tried to block what the Independent Accountants could do and check upon?

Here's an extract of what the Ministry of National Development's Press release had to say:

"... However: the (WP's) Statement fails to disclose that AHTC had tried, unsuccessfully, to limit the accountants’ terms of reference, to:

(a) Only the non-compliances identified by the Auditor-General’s Report (the “AGO Report”) of Feb 2015, and

(b) Only any improper past payments involving its former managing agent, FM Solutions & Services (“FMSS”) and FM Solutions and Integrated Services (“FMSI”).

The Court disagreed with AHTC, and said that:

(a) The Terms of Reference should include all non-compliances under Section 35(c) of the Town Councils Act which had been identified (i) by the AGO Report, and (ii) by AHPETC’s own auditors, in its subsequent audited financial statements for FY 13/14 and FY 14/15.

(b) The Terms of Reference should extend to examining whether any past payments made by the Town Council were improper and should therefore be recovered, and should not be limited to only transactions involving FMSS and FMSI. ..."

WP / Oppie supporters will simply dismiss and argue that this is MND trying to slander WP.

Well then, if the MND statement is false and is indeed slander, then what is WP waiting for? Go and sue the Govt / MND for defamation already! What is WP waiting for?

Is this WP's definition of being "Accountable" and "Transparent"?

Why did WP feel that it had to block/limit what the Independent Accountants could do?

Does WP have something to hide?
