A former Ministry of Public Utilities employee has threatened legal action against the ministry, alleging that it failed to disclose records requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) confirming his entitlement to unpaid benefits.

Mikey Latchman, who worked in the ministry’s Pension and Leave Unit from January 2014 to September 2022, submitted a FOIA request on January 8, seeking internal communications explaining why he was not paid for acting positions, contract entitlements, vacation leave, salary arrears, and why he was never made a permanent employee.

In its March 10 response, the ministry said no such documents existed.
