Kiwibuild CEO gone in five months

Stuff reports:

KiwiBuild chief executive Stephen Barclay has quit the Government’s flagship organisation after just five months in the role. 

Barclay started the job in May, but The Weekend Herald has reported Barclay left at the start of November.  …

Twyford’s office said on Saturday he would not comment on Barclay’s resignation and directed all questions to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s press secretary said it was an operational issue and she also would not be responding to questions. 

Meanwhile, a Ministry of Housing and Urban Development spokesperson told Stuff “Barclay is currently away from the office”.

If he quit a month ago, he is not just currently away from the office.

The big question is why did he quit after just five months?
