Chief Kirby complaint unanimously dismissed

11/13/2013

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that the disciplinary measures process regarding a complaint against Chief Rhonda Kirby has been completed.

At the duly convened meeting held yesterday (12, Seskehk�:wa/November) the investigator appointed for the process, Attorney-at-Law Rish Handa, presented his final report and recommendations.

The investigator determined that Chief Kirby�s actions were not sufficient to merit an Act of Censure, or to warrant the specific relief sought by the complainant.

In accordance with the Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke Disciplinary Measures Regulations (�Regulations�), Chief & Council are nonetheless responsible to determine whether an Act of Censure is warranted. Therefore, a secret ballot was conducted, with eleven (11) chiefs voting unanimously against an Act of Censure.

As per the Regulations, the matter is now considered closed.
