Initial Report Made To City of London Police Regarding Oakham Town Council Accounts
Since the 10th June 2015 when Oakham Town Councillors accepted accounts
containing errors not a day has passed without us being told more errors have been
found.
Now we are told we can not approve last months Schedule of Payments nor
a Statement of Accounts for June 2015 due to the current situation. This approval
is a legal requirement of any parish council.
Next Wednesday if the Chairman feels he wants to comply with the law, then I
shall being asking for the accounts to be audited for the last five years.
I was never to keen to see the internal auditor, until last year had failed to sign
his reports.
Due to today's development I telephoned Leicestershire Police who listened to
my concerns and the officer used the word Fraud and gave me a City Of London
Police Fraud Number.
I told a person there what was happening and they said because this involved
a Council and possible fraud and corruption, this matter would need to be
referred to a special department. I will be updated in a couple of days.
The Chairman And Mayor Councillor Alf Dewis has finally responded to
a couple of my emails I have sent since he unlawfully gagged me and
excluded me from a council meeting on Monday.
He thinks he is the Queen because he instructs the Clerk to communicate
with me costing the tax payer even more money.
