SUPPLIED Assured Property chief executive John Kenel said he saw rubbish piled on the roof of one of the houses his company built not long before the fire. “I built these mid last year – already destroyed,” he wrote. “Housing NZ is a disgrace. When I drove past a few months ago and saw rubbish on the roof and the mess I was very disheartened. “I won’t be having anything to do with Housing NZ going forward. We have very weak government. Why support them?” When asked to elaborate, Kenel told Stuff building for Kāinga Ora to be “an eye-opening experience” and found the organisation’s officials to be slow and “combative”, with numerous requirements he deemed unnecessary.
