A former employee of Auckland Transport and Rodney District Council was sentenced to 10 months home detention in the Auckland High Court yesterday.

Last month, Barrie Kenneth James George, 69, pleaded guilty to two representative charges of corruption and bribery of an official.

Mr George had been employed as an engineer at Rodney District Council since 1974 and then as a senior manager at Rodney District Council and Auckland Transport, where he was responsible for leading the delivery of maintenance and renewal works until 2013.

Between December 2005 and June 2013, Mr George admitted to receiving undisclosed payments or gratuities totalling $103,580 while in various engineering and management roles.

The two remaining defendants, Stephen James Borlase, and Murray John Noone are to stand trial later this year.

Further coverage of the case will be in the next edition of Mahurangi Matters.
