Dear Official Information Act,

We have requested an Official Info Request from your department.

We would like to point out that by law you were required to have responded promptly to our request for information, which you have failed to do.

It would appear that your department is deliberately postposing this request and not responding with the required information, and we believe that certain parts of the information will be particularly embarrassing and are likely to reveal the high levels of corruption and collusion with regards the business sector of the community.

Our information request has been dragged out for well over 40 days, which is an extraordinary long time given the relevant simple nature of the questions we have asked.

Choosing to ignore this request does not mean that it will go away
.
Your attention to this matter would be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Graham Carter

Dear Mr Carter,

As per MPI’s previous correspondence, the time frame to respond to your forty three requests for information were extended in line with the Official Information Act.
I also note that MPI has also subsequently received an additional five requests from you.

MPI does not accept your allegations of ‘corruption and collusion’.

Your request for information will be responded to in due course.

Regards

Dear Official Information Act,

Dear Sir

FAILURE TO RESPOND IN EXTENDED TIMEFRAME

We have requested an Official Info Request from your department and we stand by our allegations of corruption and collusion and have the evidence to support the allegation.

We would like to point out that by law you were required to have responded promptly to our request for information, which you have failed to do.

It would appear that your department is deliberately postposing this request and not responding with the required information, and we believe that certain parts of the information will be particularly embarrassing and are likely to reveal the high levels of corruption and collusion with regards the business sector of the community.
