Papamuri [1]
I whiwhi te kaitono i te whakatau a te kaiwhakawā hei tautoko i te rangatira o tētahi whenua ahumahi i mahi ai rātou māna (te kaiwhakapae ). I whakakahore te kaiwhakapae ki te utu, nō reira i kawe te kaitono i ngā tukanga whakamana ki te TCC. [2]
Ko te pūtake o te tautohe ko te tuku tono whaimana a te kaitono hei whakahaere i ngā mahi whakahou mō te kaiwhakapae. I roto i te puka tono, i tuhia e te kaihoko a te kaiwhakapae ( B&L ), i kīia kia hainatia rā anō he whakaaetanga whaimana, ko te tuhinga tono te kirimana i waenganui i ngā rōpū. I whakaaetia te tono, ā, nō reira i puta ai he kirimana i waenganui i ngā rōpū ( kirimana taketake ).
I raro i te kirimana taketake, e whā ngā wāhanga o te mahi, ā, me whakarite he rā whakaoti mō ia wāhanga. I roto i te kirimana taketake, i whakaritea he utu mō te whakaroa i te whakaoti i ia wāhanga o te £2,500.00 ia wiki.
Kātahi ka whakaritea e B&L tētahi kirimana hoahoa me te hanga whaimana kia hainatia e te kaitono, kia whakahokia mai, ā, ka mahia e te kaitono (te kirimana kua hainatia ). I roto i te kirimana kua hainatia, i tohua he rā kotahi mō te otinga o ngā mahi (ehara i te rā rerekē mō ia wāhanga) ā, i kīia ko ngā utu mō ngā utu kua whakakorea he £2,500.00 ia wiki (he rerekē ki te £2,500.00 mō ia wāhanga ia wiki).
I te kitenga o B&L i ēnei (me ētahi atu) rerekētanga, ka tukuna e ia he kirimana whakatikatika kia hainatia e te kaitono. Kāore te kaitono i haina, kāore hoki i whakaae mā roto i āna mahi ki ngā whakatikatika kua whakaarohia. Nō reira, i raro i te kirimana kua hainatia, ko te utu mō te whakaroa he £2,500.00 ia wiki, ā, ka taea te wehewehe i waenga i ngā wāhanga mahi e whā mēnā ka oti ētahi i mua i ētahi atu.
I te otinga o ngā mahi, i tukuna he whakaroa wā ki te kaitono, engari mō te wāhanga takitahi o ngā mahi i pāngia e te whakaroa e tika ana. He hē tēnei. Kāore i roto i te kirimana kua hainatia he rā whakaoti mō ia wāhanga. Ko te whakaroa e pā ana ki te wā o ngā mahi katoa, me whakaroa ake te otinga o ngā mahi.
I tutuki i te kaitono te otinga tūturu i waenganui o Hakihea 2019. Heoi, i taua wā kua riro kē i te kaiwhakapae te mana whakahaere o ētahi o ngā mahi. I roto i tētahi tono e kīia ana mō ngā whakaritenga utu mō ngā utu kua whakakorea e te kirimana, i puritia e te kaiwhakapae neke atu i te £223,500.00. I tatauhia ngā utu mō ngā utu ki te £2,500.00 mō ia wāhanga mō ia wiki o te whakaroa, ā, kāore i whakaarohia kua riro i te kaiwhakapae ētahi wāhanga o ngā mahi i mua atu i ētahi atu wāhanga. Waihoki, he maha ngā whakaroa ki ngā mahi kāore i puta mai i te kaitono.
I whai ake ko te tono mō te whakatau. Ko te tūnga o te kaitono, kāore te kirimana taketake i hangaia i te tau 2018, ā, ko te kirimana anake i whakaaetia ko te kirimana kua hainatia. Ahakoa kua hangaia te kirimana taketake, kāore i roto ngā tikanga e tika ana mō te tautohe (e pā ana ki ngā wāhanga, ngā rā mō te pupuri me te whakaoti, me ngā utunga kua whakakorea). Ko te tūnga o te kaiwhakapae i mua i te Kaiwhakapae, i hangaia te kirimana taketake i waenganui i ngā rōpū, ā, kāore he tuhinga kirimana anō i puta i waenganui i a rātou. I tautohe anō te kaiwhakapae ko te tiaki i te whakatikatika [3] i āhei ai te haere tonu i runga i te whakaaro ko ngā whakaritenga utunga kua whakakorea o te kirimana kua hainatia e tika ana kia £2,500.00 ia wāhanga ia wiki, e ai ki te kirimana taketake.
I muri i te whakaaroaro i ngā tautohe, ka whakatau te Kaiwhakawā kua uru ngā rōpū ki te kirimana taketake, ā, i whakakapia e te kirimana kua hainatia. I whakakahoretia e te Kaiwhakawā te tautohe whakatikatika a te kaiwhakapae. I muri i te tatau i te pānga o te whakaroa, me te wehewehe mō te pupuri wawe, ka whakatau te Kaiwhakawā he tika te pupuri a te kaiwhakapae i te £6,368.08. Nō reira, me utu e te kaiwhakapae te kaikerēme neke atu i te £228,000.00, i tangohia i mua mai i ngā utu kirimana e tika ana ki te kaikerēme mā te utu mō ngā utu kino kua oti te whakarite, me te huamoni me ngā utu a te Kaiwhakawā.
Ka tukuna ngā tukanga whakamana
Tuatahi … ko ngā kitenga a te Kaiwhakawā mō ngā tikanga kirimana e tika ana i mahia i roto i te takahi i te tika tūturu nā te mea i ahu mai i ngā tautohe kāore i tukuna e tētahi o ngā rōpū, ā, kāore hoki i tautohetohe ki ngā rōpū. Tuarua … i te korenga e whakaae ki te tiaki i te whakatikatika e pā ana ki te reiti kirimana mō ngā utu kua whakakorea, i tangohia e te Kaiwhakawā he tirohanga whakawhāiti mō tōna mana whakahaere kāore i tautohetohe ki ngā rōpū, nō reira i takahi i te tika tūturu, ā, kāore i pau tōna mana whakahaere.
He kereme mō te takahi i te tika ā-taiao
Ko te tika ā-taiao e hiahia ana kia whakamōhiotia ngā rōpū e uru ana ki tētahi tautohe, kia tukuna hoki he wā tika ki te whakautu i ngā kōrero matua e pā ana ki te tautohe me te whakataunga. Heoi, kāore te kaiwhakawā e hiahia ki te kōrero ki ngā rōpū mō ia wāhanga o ō rātou whakaaro i mua i te whakaputanga i tētahi whakataunga.
I kitea e te TCC ahakoa te mea kāore te whakaaro tika a te Kaiwhakawā (arā, kua uru ngā rōpū ki te kirimana taketake i te tuatahi, kātahi ka uru ki te kirimana kua hainatia) i te āhua nei he tautohe nā tētahi o ngā rōpū, kāore tēnei i tata ki te whakatū i tētahi takahi i te tika tūturu. I kī te Kaiwhakawā kua whai wāhi katoa te kaiwhakapae ki te tuku kōrero mō ngā tikanga kirimana e pā ana me te take, ā , he take mārama tēnei i ahu mai ai ngā whakaaro o te Kaiwhakawā i ngā kōrero a ngā rōpū, kaua i te mea kua whakatakotoria tika ki roto. Ehara i te take i kitea ai e te Kaiwhakawā he pūtake hou, he pūtake rerekē mō te kereme a te kaitono, ā, kāore i tukuna taua take hou ki te kaiwhakapae kia whakautua e ia.
I rahua e te Kaiwhakawa te "whakapau" i tōna mana whakahaere?
Nō te iwi Kōtirana te kupu whakamiharo "mana whakahaere kua pau". E pā ana tēnei ki tētahi takahi motuhake i ngā mātāpono o te tika ā-tūturu ina kore te kaiwhakawā e whai whakaaro ki ngā taunakitanga katoa e wātea ana, ā, nā reira i whakawhāitihia ai tōna ake mana whakahaere. Kia angitu ai tētahi kereme pēnei, me āta whakaarohia te korenga, me whai kiko hoki.
I kī te TCC i ahu mai te amuamu a te kaiwhakapae mō tēnei take i tētahi tīmatanga kāore i te tino whai hua . I muri i te whakarāpopototanga o ngā take a te Kaiwhakawā mō te whakakorenga i te parepare whakatikatika, i whakatau te TCC mēnā he tika, he kore rānei te take ture, kāore e whai pānga ki te tika o te whakatinanatanga o te whakataunga. I kī te Kaiwhakawā kia taea ai e te kaiwhakapae te whakamahi i te parepare, me whakaatu he koretake ā-tūturu nā te Kaiwhakawā ki te whakatika i taua take, ā, i te mārama kāore he koretake pērā .
I whakatau te Kaiwhakawā kāore i te whai take ngā take tiaki, ā, kāore i whakaaturia he huarahi tūturu hei tiaki angitu i te kereme. Nō reira, i whakaaetia te tono a te kaitono mō te whakataunga whakarāpopoto.
Whakamutunga
E whakaū ana tēnei whakataunga ka whakaae noa ngā kōti kāore e tika kia whakamanahia te whakataunga a te kaiwhakawā i roto i ngā āhuatanga tino mārama kua hipa te kaiwhakawā i tōna mana whakahaere, kua takahi kino rānei i ngā ture o te tika tūturu. Mēnā kua ngana te kaiwhakawā ki te whakautu i ngā pātai i tukuna atu ki a rātou, ā, kua hoatu he whai wāhitanga tika ki ngā rōpū ki te whakautu i ngā kōrero matua e pā ana ki te tautohe me te whakataunga, ka taea te whakamana i te whakataunga.

[4] Hei whiwhi i te whakataunga whakarāpopoto, me whakamana e te kaiwhakapae te kooti kāore he parenga mō te katoa, mō tētahi wāhanga rānei o te kereme. Hei tiaki i tētahi tono mō te whakataunga whakarāpopoto, me whakaatu e te kaiwhakapae he tautohe pono mō ngā meka, he pūtake rānei mō tētahi parenga hei whakatū i te tūmanako ka angitu te tiaki i te kereme.
