Your Official Information Act 1982 request, reference OIA 2223-0923
I am responding to your email of 9 June 2023 to Te Tari Taiwhenua | the Department of
Internal Affairs requesting the fol owing under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
“Can You please supply details of any audits or investigations completed involving
Matthew Edwards or Molrudee Kasamchaiyan.”
The timeframe to respond to your request has been extended by 18 working days, to
4 August 2023. I wil endeavour to provide you with a response earlier if possible.
This extension is required under section 15A(1)(b) of the Act, as the consultations necessary
to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response to the request cannot
reasonably be made within the original time limit.
You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to seek a review of my decision by the Office
of the Ombudsman. The postal address of the Office of the Ombudsman is PO Box 10152,
Wellington. Alternatively, you can phone 0800 802 602 or email
[email address].
