In a Friday statement, the WP asked the Ministry of National Development to assist with the audit and in closing some of these "information gaps".
"At FY 2011, the auditors had tried to request information from former auditors, unsuccessfully. Repeated attempts by the Town Council (TC) to obtain information from the former Managing Agent (MA) and government authorities, such as asking MND / the Housing and Development Board... did not yield answers. Attempts in FY 2012 to get the information were also unsuccessful. Unless those agencies with the required information furnish them to the TC, it is likely that information gaps will remain and the accounts will continue to be qualified every year," said the statement.

However, the MND has swiftly rebuffed this and said in its own statement that the concerns raised in the independent audit were not linked to post-GE handover issues.
