Politcal interference

Is it just me or does this just rub you up the wrong way. District Health Boards are elected at the same time as Local body elections, people choose to stand and are elected, sounds rather simple doesnt it.... well not if you are Tony Ryall MP.... he has just sacked the Otago DHB Chair for letting fraud happen over an 8 year period..... One would think that a main feature of fraud is that no one else knows you are doing it. so surely it would make sense then that the chair of said board is not responsible for someone elses fraudulent use of money,

Also why does the minister think he can sack someone who has been publicly elected.... its simple the person is a labour party member and not one of his cronies so he was out for blood.
