20th May 2002
Millennium People director Wayne Ball said today, the company was pleased to have been vindicated by the State Services
Commission report which investigated a) the engagement process for Millennium People Ltd to provide recruitment services
to the Mäori Television Service Board and b) the extent of the use of Millennium People Ltd by Public Service
Departments.
“The State Services Commission investigation found that 12 of 36 government departments and 7 crown entities have used
Millennium People Ltd and there was no inadequacy of service delivery by this firm, “ Mr Ball said.
However, Mr Ball said that he was still concerned that the company had never been interviewed in respect of these
matters by any party investigating the Davy issue as well as the length of time the Government was taking to release the
various reports.
“The State Services Commission did not actually investigate the reference checks and indeed Mr Winteringham did not
obtain any information on the adequacy of those checks from Millennium People Ltd.”
Mr Ball said he believes that the public will be able to draw the correct conclusions once all of the information in
relation to the issues surrounding Mr Davy’s appointment is publicly released.
