A pay off suspected but no proof
The Herald reports:
An Immigration Service investigator suspects National MP Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi or one of his supporters may have “paid off” the Indian woman at the centre of allegations that he made bogus job offers. …
The Immigration Service report on the investigation – obtained under the Official Information Act – says the staff member who tried to interview Kamal Kaur and her husband, Kuldeep Singh, “formed an impression that [they] may have been paid off by Bakshi or one of his supporters”.
“There is no evidence to support this impression,” the report says.
Not a good look. Back in November I said:
The allegations may well be baseless, but if John Key wants to set a different style to Helen Clark, he would do well to make sure there is an inquiry into them.
Talking of allegations though, what has happened to the inquiry into why the former Government granted citizenship to political donor Yang Liu, despite knowing of the serious concerns Internal Affairs raised about him?
