Absolutely disgraceful, I hope no child was harmed by this.
This is what happens when the State eschews its responsibility to its citizens and instead outsources the provision of services to whoever wants to do it.
When it comes to vulnerable children, experience should tell us that an organisation led by a Pastor is an unsuitable service provider.
>An employee of Good People was earlier this year convicted of forgery and falsifying Garda vetting documentation of staff who were looking after children in State care. The company is run by Gerard Chimbganda, a businessman and evangelical pastor originally from Zimbabwe.
>One of its now former employees, who is understood to be a younger relative of Mr Chimbganda, was charged with 110 counts of forgery and falsification of Garda vetting disclosures. **The 22-year-old woman was convicted in Trim Circuit Court this May and given an 18-month suspended sentence, according to court records.**
The department awarded another company run by Mr Chimbganda, Minana International, a public contract worth an estimated €6 million late last year, to carry out “vulnerability assessments” of asylum seekers. That company trades under the name Good People and shares the same directors and address.
Privatise everything! What could go wrong?
Why do we fail vulnerable children so often?

This is worrying – like, surely an LGBT asylum seeker should be assessed by someone who is not in an anti-gay cult?
Cheapest vendor activities.
Requiring documents for anything in this day and age is asking for trouble.
High-quality forgeries of virtually any document are easy to produce. If it doesn’t come with a physical chip (like a passport), then it should be verified with the authority online.
In the case of vetting, each vetting request should only be viewable online using a code that the applicant provides to the employer. Yes, that can be spoofed, but it’s harder to spoof and easier to validate than a paper document.
Also, fuck evangelicals. They are the *worst*.
Kids were placed in houses that:
1. Had rats in them.
2. Had no hygiene products, like soap or shampoo.
3. People are being told if they speak out about the conditions they will be reported.
And to top it off:
Tusla weren’t being told of serious incidences going on in the houses and people weren’t even qualified to work there.
In 2 years they received 8m of tax payers money.
And now cause he isn’t getting business in the Republic he is trying to get his foot in the door in the North.
What an absolute conman.
I’m sorry but have you ever heard of a company name more obviously malcious than “Good People”. Have the procurement department never watched ANY films ever?
Considering Ireland’s utterly shameful history with outsourcing child “care” to horrendous privately run religious institutions for much of the 20th century, you’d think the state might maybe have prioritised high quality, safely run, state owned child care services, you know – for the most vulnerable people in our society, but instead it does crappy, flung out to tender, for profit, private enterprise stuff like this instead.
We’ve learned absolutely nothing!
Never would have expected this dishonesty from an evangelical pasta
