Taxpayers’ Union welcomes infrastructure heavyweight to lead FENZ Board

The Taxpayers’ Union is welcoming the appointment of Mr Raveen Jaduram as Chair of Fire and Emergency New Zealand, saying his infrastructure experience is exactly what FENZ needs to get its capital planning and spending under control.

Taxpayers’ Union spokesperson, Tory Relf, said:

“Raveen Jaduram has spent more than three decades managing major infrastructure, making sure public assets are properly planned, maintained, and delivered. That is precisely the background FENZ needs.”

“Minister van Velden has rightly put the focus on active governance of FENZ’s fire appliance investment, including a clear multi-year pipeline that matches operational need with affordability and value for money. Mr Jaduram’s infrastructure background should help bring the planning discipline, spending control, and accountability FENZ has been missing.”
