Show Notes

Questions over the future of Wellington Water's chairman, with calls for him to go after troubling findings within the organisation. 

A scathing review has found poor procurement processes, potential for fraud, and a serious lack of value for money. 

Board chair Nick Leggett says if the region's mayors ask him to go, he will, but thinks he's taken good action on the issues. 

Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says he doesn't need to go. 

She told Andrew Dickens they’re a year out from water reforms and him and Pat Dougherty are working exceptionally well together to achieve them. 

Baker says she doesn’t see the point.
