Former longterm and high-ranking legislature employees told the speaker they pointed out financial wrongdoing and were then fired without cause, says the speaker's chief of staff Alan Mullen who is helping to investigate allegations of mismanagement of taxpayers' money.
Over the last several months, “an alarming number” of former legislature employees have contacted Speaker Darryl Plecas to say they were improperly fired after voicing concerns about “corruption” involving taxpayers’ money, says the Speaker’s chief of staff.
“They have described corruption, they have also described being terminated for what is alleged to be asking questions,” Alan Mullen said in an exclusive interview with Postmedia this week.
“They allege and quote being instructed: ‘Don’t ask questions. If you do, you’re gone.’ Questions about financial records, expenses, trips. … (They were) told to delete documents.”
