Contracts awarded to family members
Mark Wong made this Official Information request to Nanaia Mahuta
The request was successful.
From: Mark Wong
Dear Nanaia Mahuta,
Under the official information act I am requesting the details of all contracts awarded to companies where one or more of your family members is a director or shareholder.
This includes, but is not limited to Ka Awatea Servces Limited.
I am also requesting details of the process undertaken to award these contracts, including some details of other applicants. For privacy reasons I understand that names of people and companies may need to be redacted and that is fine. I am more interested in their qualifications and experience that is relevant to the contracts they were over looked for.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Wong

I am writing to advise you that I am extending the timeframe to respond to
your request by 10 working days to 18 June 2022. This extension is subject
to section 15A(1)(b) of the Act, as consultations necessary to make a
