How local government works: (2) LBWF Director of Governance and Law Mark Hynes and Cllr. Limbajee

September 19, 2018 Cllr. Khevyn Limbajee, Mark Hynes, register of interests

Between 19 June 2014 and 13 March 2018, senior Labour councillor Khevyn Limbajee’s register of interests recorded his sole employment as ‘Press Officer, Labour Party’. However, in March 2018, research showed that (a) according to his Linkedin page, Cllr. Limbajee had stopped working for the Labour Party in 2014; and (b) Companies House listed him as  ‘a person with significant control’ of PR company Tenth Muse Ltd., which had been incorporated on 31 August 2016 and had no other directors. When alerted to these facts, LBWF Director of Governance and Law Mark Hynes investigated and found that ‘a... »

May 10, 2018 Cllr. Anna Mbachu, Cllr. Khevyn Limbajee, Cllr. Simon Miller, Mark Hynes, register of interests, the Labour Party in Waltham Forest

Previous posts have looked at the problems that some councillors are having over accurately filling in their register of interests forms (see links below).

So, starting with the three cases, this is how they stand: Cllr. Anna Mbachu In the autumn of 2017, it emerged that Cllr.

Cllr. Limbajee, Cllr. Mbachu, their register of interests forms, and LBWF’s Director of Governance and Law Mark Hynes: the controversy continues

March 28, 2018 Cllr. Anna Mbachu, Cllr. Khevyn Limbajee, LBWF, Mark Hynes, register of interests, the Labour Party in Waltham Forest

The controversy over the register of interests forms posted by Cllrs. Khevyn Limbajee and Anna Mbachu, covered by this blog recently, is mushrooming, with even the officer in charge of enforcing the rules, LBWF Director of Governance and Law Mark Hynes, apparently struggling. Let’s take Cllr. Mbachu first, because her case is fairly straightforward. It will be remembered that she has been a director of an ‘active’ company called Knice Industries Ltd. since February 2016, but has never disclosed this fact on her LBWF register of interests form; and that when challenged about t... »

Cllr. Khevyn Limbajee’s register of interests form: another case of Waltham Forest-itis?

March 11, 2018 Cllr. Khevyn Limbajee, Mark Hynes, Redevelopment, register of interests, the Labour Party in Waltham Forest

Over the years this blog has periodically revealed that LBWF councillors have surprising difficulty keeping their register of interests forms as accurate and up-to-date as the agreed standards require, a very obvious example of Waltham Forest-itis. Now another possible case of this unfortunate malady may be on the cards. Cllr. Khevyn Limbajee is the Cabinet portfolio holder for housing, who, with his estate agent chic and penchant for social media, syncs so perfectly with the ongoing middle-class takeover of the Labour Party. As of today, Cllr. Limbajee’s register of interests form, post... »
