Hekeretari v Kamupene A
Ngā meka
E rua ngā rōpū i uru ki tētahi kirimana e pā ana ki te whakawhanaketanga o tētahi tipu hinu nui: te kaiwhakawhanake ( Kamupene A ) me tētahi kaiwhakahaere kaupapa. I whakatūria te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa i raro i tētahi kirimana EPCM hei whakarato ratonga hangarau, hokohoko, me te whakahaere hanganga mō te kaupapa. Ko tētahi o ngā herenga o te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa ko te tuku i ētahi tuhi hoahoa. Ko te utu o te whanaketanga katoa i inehia i roto i ngā piriona, ā, ko te uara o te kirimana whakahaere kaupapa tata ki te $2 piriona.
I utua hoki e Kamupene A tētahi kaimahi kirimana iti hei whakahaere i te $117 miriona o te hanganga o ngā whare i te wheketere. I puta ake ngā tautohe mō te hanganga, ā, i kawe te kaimahi kirimana iti i tētahi kereme whakatau a te ICC ki a Kamupene A. Ko te kereme matua ko te utu i te kaimahi kirimana iti kia utua he utu tāpiri nā te whakaroa me te whakararuraru i puta mai nā te tomuri o te whakarato i ngā tuhi hoahoa.
Hei āwhina i te whakatau tautohe hanga, i utua e te Kamupene A a Secretariat Consulting Pte Ltd ( SCL ). Kei Singapore tōna turanga, i roto i ngā tikanga mahi a SCL he rarangi tautohe pānga noa i whakaū ai kāore he tautohe pānga a SCL i te mahi mā te Kamupene A, ā, ka mau tonu a SCL i tēnei tūranga mō te roanga o te mahi . I oti i a SCL te tirotiro tautohe i mua i te whakaae ki te mahi, me te tirotiro i ngā tautohe puta noa i ngā hinonga katoa i roto i tana waitohu o te ao.
I muri i ngā marama, ka ara ake he tautohe i waenganui i te Kamupene A me tana kaiwhakahaere kaupapa. I tīmatahia he whakataunga ICC. I tono te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa mō ngā utu kāore anō kia utua, ā, i tono anō te Kamupene A. Ko te kaupapa o te tautohe ko te tukunga tomuri o ngā tuhi hoahoa – ko ngā tuhi anō i arahi i te tautohe ki te kaimahi kirimana iti.
E rua marama pea i muri i te tīmatanga o te tuarua o ngā whakataunga, ka whakatata atu a Secretariat International UK Limited ( SIUL ) ki te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa, me te tuku tautoko whakataunga me ngā ratonga tohunga. I te kitenga o te Kamupene A mō te whai wāhi a SIUL, ka tono rātou mō tētahi aukati mai i ngā kōti, me te whai kia aukatia a SIUL i te whakaae ki te mahi i runga i te whakaaro kua mahi kē a Kamupene A i tētahi atu hinonga i roto i te rōpū Hekeretari mō tētahi tautohe e pā ana.
Taupatupatu pānga
I angitu a Kamupene A ki te whiwhi i tētahi aukati i roto i te Kōti Hangarau me te Hanga ( TCC ), ā, i tautokona e te Kōti Pīra te aukati. He mea whakamīharo, he rerekē ngā whakaaro o ia kōti. I kitea e te TCC he mahi pono tā te rōpū Hēkeretari ki te Kamupene A, ā, nā reira, kāore i taea te mahi mā te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa. Heoi, i arotahi te Kōti Pīra ki te wāhanga taupatupatu pānga i roto i ngā tikanga o te mahi.
I whakaarohia e te Kōti mēnā me whakamārama whānuitia te rarangi, kia horapa atu ki te waitohu ā-ao o te Hekeretari. I te whakaaro ki ngā whakaaro o ngā rōpū i te wā i uru ai te kirimana, me te kite kua oti ngā arowhai taupatupatu pānga puta noa i ngā hinonga o te ao, i kitea e te Kōti Pīra i hopukina e te rarangi ngā taupatupatu a tētahi kamupene i roto i te waitohu Hekeretari. Nō reira, kāore i taea e SIUL te mahi mā te kaiwhakahaere kaupapa i te mea he tino hono te whakatautau whakahaere kaupapa ki tētahi atu whakatautau i mahi ai a SCL mā te Kamupene A.
He panonitanga ki ngā tikanga kirimana ā muri ake nei?
He mea whakamataku ki ētahi te arotahi a te TCC ki ngā mahi tiaki, nā te mea he nui atu ngā mahi tiaki i te herenga o te pono. Nō reira, he mea pai te whakatau a te Kōti Pīra ki te whakamāmā i taua whakaaro. Heoi anō, tera pea he whānuitanga ngā pānga. Ahakoa i tae mai te whakatau i runga i te wāhanga kirimana me ngā āhuatanga kirimana, e kī ana te whakaaro o te Kōti he mea pea ka whakamāramatia ngā wāhanga taupatupatu pānga pēnei kia pā ki te ao katoa puta noa i tētahi rōpū o te ao. Ka kite rānei tātou i tētahi panonitanga ki ngā tikanga o te mahi tahi e tukuna ana e ngā umanga ratonga tohunga, i tētahi pana whakamuri rānei ki aua whakatikatika e ā rātou kiritaki? Mā te wā anake e whakaatu.
