Instead of announcing a regular temporary position during the parental leave, the assignment was put out for procurement. The municipal councilor who handled the recruitment then chose to hire his former municipal chief as a consultant.

The invoice for the last 12 months was on average 196,000 kronor per month. The corresponding cost for the regular municipal chief is 110,000 kronor. According to P4 Västerbotten, not everyone in the municipal council was aware of the terms.

The municipal councilor means that they count on the voters still having confidence in the municipality, even though the costs have increased by 86,000 kronor per month.

The municipal inhabitants probably have confidence in our way of setting this up, a good solution, a municipal chief who could jump in directly, and who was warm in his clothes, he says to P4 Västerbotten.
