Mark Mitchell: Police Minister on the arrest of corrections staff for corruption, accepting bribes
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Satisfaction the vast majority of the country's Corrections workers are good eggs, despite the arrest of 14 Auckland staff. A dozen have been charged with accepting bribes, while several are also charged with conspiring to supply a Class A drug —namely methamphetamine— to prisoners. They worked at the Mt Eden and Auckland South facilities. Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Ryan Bridge it's a small portion of the 11 thousand workforce, and he's satisfied the recruiting process is up to snuff. He’s confident low wages aren’t behind the acts, as you can’t buy integrity. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
