Has Senator Le Marquand been honest with Jersey ?

[boatyboy]

Has Ian Le Marquand been caught out by dates and other damming information researched by Rico Sorda ?

A completely independent team  says Senator Le Marquand.

A letter from BDO  Alto, Accountants paid £64,000 with a remit to investigate Lenny Harper's spending. This is along side and additional to the Wiltshire report.

Dear Sirs

In accordance with your instructions, confirmed in our engagement letter dated 29th September 2009, we have prepared a Report considering the efficient and effective use of resources during the Operation Rectangle Investigation.

Ok so far.

Er  no……………….  actually, they are supposed and quoted later as being independent right.

" BDO has worked alongside Mr Michael Kellett in performing this Review. Mr Kellett is a former senior Investigating Officer serving in the UK, who also set up the North West Regional Asset Recovery Team. He has been separately engaged by the Acting Chief Officer ( Warcup ) , SOJP; however this report represents the joint findings of Mr Kellett and BDO"

So the acting police chief puts his own man on board the independent accountants team, does he not know what independent means ?

It cannot get any worse can it……………….afraid so, is the slush fund sorry  departments budget being sucked dry ? because another player is coming on board.

Quote from Rico Sorda,

That is just a snippet into what the BDO were saying. Now for the most staggering part of this mysterious BDO Alto Report let us now introduce Mr David Rose of that most infamous daily mail article " Bungled Jersey Child Abuse Probe Branded 20 Million Shamble"

Hold on a minute.

Pass that by me again BDO Alto wrote, In accordance with your instructions, confirmed in our engagement letter dated 29th September 2009

Obviously Mr Rose again a professional journalist researched read the report and  confirmed its findings and using freedom of information, confirmed facts and wrote an article some time after the report was finished and quoted fact using the BDO report.  Hold on………… the report was never published its secret, so says Senator Le Marquand.

It can’t  get any worse right………………….here is the house buster,

In his piece dated October 4th 2009 he is actually quoting the BDO Alto Report.

This is but a few days after the 29th September 2009,  before the report was even started,  you are joking right ? The Year must be wrong, you are way off the mark  ?

I don't think Rico Sorda is,  he is not joking at all, he tends to work on fact.

Read his own articles and see if it all stacks up, it is very readable and in  seven parts, please click on link

If this is correct, I suggest that Senator Le Marquand resign forthwith as he allowed tainted prosecution by a biased ( or paid ) press, without maintaining an objective, impartial and fair open minded position. Qualities insisted on by his profession let alone as a Government Minister.

Subject: RE: BDO and my Wiltshire Statement

Dear Mr. Harper,

I am sorry to be slow in replying to you on this.
I was not involved in the arrangements for the production of either the Wiltshire Financial report or the BDO Alto report for the simple reason that both of these had to be independent reports.

Questions Senator Le Marquand needs to answer.

How independent  is a report whereby the acting Police Chief  Mr Warcup assigns his own independently contracted police officer ( Mr Michael Kellett ) to the team of BDO Alto accountants who  will probably be reporting back  to  Mr Warcup who reports back personally to you as Minister for home affairs.

To obliterate the word independent even more, we now know there was collusion between the Wiltshire Force carrying out its long late drawn out very expensive independent report and BDO Alto probably with data protection issues involved.

The dates shown in the post above  would and could be wrong except for this important piece of the jigsaw provided by an observant blogger.

Answers are needed  Senator Le Marquand.  Was this just a big fabricated behind the scenes contrived story using taxpayers money to try and discredit  Police Chief Graham Power QMH ( retired ) or Lenny Harper (retired) because with this information discovered  by Rico Sorda posses more questions than answers that you have offered.

Listening to him in the States today was torture with his waffling on and on and on until one just gave up listening to him. Perhaps that's his secret weapon to get things unanswered on getting things past. He has been one very disappointing person
in the States. Thought he might be good in there but he has got his full membership to the establishment party.

 BDO Alto the facts.

This report was supposed to be a fair and honest forensic fact finding look at the spending of the police operation named rectangle.

 I don't think anyone could criticise the Government instigating checks and balances when it comes to Government department spending. What is wrong is that most investigations accountancy based or otherwise throw up questions that need to be answered.

This is where BDO Alto fell down and let down its profession.

Lenny Harper has his say on a flawed Minister of home affairs report which also names SAV as being weak. SAV is Steven Austin-Vautier,

Just two days ago, on the 9th May 2011 I became aware for the very first time of the existence of a group called BDO Alto Ltd.  I also learnt that they had carried out a review of the manner in which I had utilised resources in the Jersey Historic Abuse Enquiry.  This all came as something of a surprise as despite being the Senior Investigating Officer of the enquiry, BDO had never made any attempt to ask me anything at all about the enquiry and the decisions I had made in respect of the use of resources.

Minister Ian Le Marquand doing a runner ?

"In early 2009 I prepared  an application and affidavit for my suspension to be reviewed by the Royal Court.   The Court told me that I had to serve a copy of the papers on the Minister. I did not think that it was appropriate for me to serve them personally. So my wife arranged to visit the Home Affairs Department offices and serve them on the Minister.


She made an appointment. She was shown in by staff. They went to the Ministers office but he was not there. They thought that was strange because he had been there when she knocked on the door and the appointment was in his diary. So she waited...............and she waited..................staff searched the building but the Minister could not be found.


He had not left the building so the only place he could be was in the toilet. So they waited..........And they waited. But the Minister remained locked in the toilet and showed no sign of coming out.


After it all became very embarrassing a member of the department agreed to accept service on the Minister's behalf..................... they apologised. And she left the building.............with the Minister still locked in the toilet.........................."(END)
