Subject: Official Information request - The names of the the individuals
who had to dispose of their land or were forced to dispose of it

Dear Overseas Investment Office,

On 28th of March 2017 New Zealand Herald has published the article titled
"Ten foreign investors forced to dispose of NZ land in last 10 years" by
Isaac Davison. This article raised issues of public interest, including
the main fact that ten foreign investors have been forced to surrender
sensitive land in New Zealand in the last decade after failing to meet the
conditions of their purchase.

Unfortunately, the information provided was incomplete due to the author's
explanation: "The OIO was unable to immediately name the individuals or
companies who had to dispose of their land or why they were forced to
dispose of it."

I have visited the OIO website and was unable to find any information
supporting the information by the author in this article. I do believe,
that it is the right of every New Zealander to know the names of the NZ
immigration candidates who failed to deliver their investment promises
made to the NZ government.

Therefore, according to the Official Information Act, I request the
disclosure of the following information:

1) The names of the the individuals who had to dispose of their land or
were forced to dispose of it; the OIO reference numbers of each case for
each individual's name as it is customarily done on the OIO website;
2) Links to the official OIO website pages where this information in
published for the public;

Please confirm the receipt of this Disclosure request by informing the

Yours faithfully,
Oleksandr Kirichuk
NZ citizen and taxpayer
