Grant Duncan: Political Commentator on the circumstances surrounding Superintendent Rakesh Naidoo standing for the Labour Party
from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB
Doubts a senior police officer gave his employer enough notice about plans to run for the Labour Party. Commissioner Richard Chambers says he only learned of Rakesh Naidoo's candidacy on Sunday afternoon, and his position is now untenable. Labour says Naidoo told a supervisor of his intentions last Thursday and followed all appropriate steps. But political commentator Grant Duncan told Heather du Plessis-Allan that may not have been enough notice. He says Police should've been able to steer Naidoo towards low-level operational duties, and there are also questions around leave. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
