Algernon Cargill, suspended NIB Director, has been told to either report to the Board within the next few days or risk not having the opportunity to defend himself against allegations which may not be in his best interest.
NIB Minister Shane Gibson denied that Mr Cargill and his legal team were being treated unfairly as they were only given two weeks to analyse the reports which took months to compile. He said Mr Cargill answered every allegation levied against him by fired Board Chairman Greg Moss in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court. Therefore, he said, Mr Cargill has had ample time.
Mr Cargill has between now and May 21 to sit with NIB representatives, lawyers, and auditors to clarify certain “adverse findings.”
“He is still an employee of the Board,” Mr Gibson said, “and still being paid. We wrote him and asked him to attend a meeting. He said he was busy and we wrote him back and asked him to attend a meeting on the 21st of May.
