Subject: Official Information request - Fale Andrew Lesā- Stuff
investigation reveals flawed CV- V2

 

 

Dear Auckland Council,

Thank you for your recent reply, further OIA Act request as follow:

From the information available , it is stated by third parties that Mr
Lesā is a former Councillor of Manukau City Council. I’m unsure if this
position was provided by Mr Lesā or incorrectly stated by these parties.
However, from a publicly available source like the Herald , it looks like
he was only an advisory member of a committee on the then Manukau City
Council.

References to where Mr Lesā was cited directly or indirectly as a
‘councillor’

In the stuff article, it also stated he resigned all his positions for
which I presume as a local board member of Manurewa yet on the council
website it still shows he is a member. Not sure when the effect date is.
Can you please confirm when he has resigned.

Also can I enquire whether the mayor or council CEO is aware of any
complaints raised against Mr Lesa re: a possible breach of the code.

Yours faithfully,

john luke
