Sunak's Undeclared Wealth

Akshata Murty, who married Sunak in 2009, is the daughter of one of India’s most successful entrepreneurs. Her father co-founded the technology giant Infosys, and her shares in the company are worth £430m, making her one of the wealthiest women in Britain, with a fortune larger than the Queen’s.

25,000 people die each day from starvation. This kind of obscene wealth is absolutely disgusting and one day the masses will reach breaking point and string up these libertine scumbags.
 
This has been common knowledge since he took office. I’m not sure what the Ministerial Register demands but people must have been fiddling it for years if they are expected to put their whole family wealth in.

I’m no Tory but I hardly think this a secret is it as we know how wealthy his wife’s family are so he’s hardly going to be poor.
 
In fact didn’t bojo say that he chose him as a chancellor as he’s was used to handling large sums of money.
 
My first instinct with this is that it doesn't really matter.

But then in deeper thought it has to be a purposeful action to actively ignore this wealth/ link and not declare it.

It doesn't impact me the wealth of a politician and I don't really care, but its the lack of transparency that comes with it that is disturbing. If it is required to declare and he has chosen not to, the act of not declaring it should be explored and whatever the consequence of that may be (probably not a lot anyway)

I am the opposite, I don't care if it's a secret or not. I just absolutely despise people hoarding money and resources like a dragon guarding a pile of treasure whilst people are dying from lack of food and clean water.
 
I love all that that richer than the Queen stuff. She is one, if not the wealthiest person on the planet. She went from estimated worth of 10 billion in the 80’s to almost a pauper when she agreed to be taxed. I know some is owned by the state but her personal fortune will be incredible and we pay for it’s upkeep. Just her Faberge Eggs, art and stamp collections are worth huge sums.
 
Not convinced his wealth, in itself, is the issue.
It is the behaviours of some people with this kins of wealth that more concern me.

Like when he said, 3 weeks into furlough, that he didn’t want people to become addicted to it.
No empathy whatsoever for those at home and worried

Like when he said just yesterday that he didn’t mention Brexit in his economic forecast because he was an optimist.
Easy to be an optimist in a recession with that amount of money behind you

In summary - he will come at things from a different place from most citizens.
He has, so far fulfilled the stereotype of a wealthy selfish, lying politician.
He will do well.
 
The conflict of interest that declerations are designed to avoid don't really matter where Infosys are concerned. They do no work for the government, her father no longer has a leadership role at Infosys. All these said there financial interests should be declared.

What I would say is Infosys are one of the more moral corporations on the planet and due a huge amount for charities around the world. Recently they have ploughed millions into phizer vaccine and offered a track and trace system to governments at cost.

It would be almost unthinkable that Infosys would engage in fraudulent or crony behaviour with the British government.

I know this as I work for Infosys and their practices are heavily scrutinised both at the c management level and down. I can't even take a bottle of wine from a client without going through an Infosys scheme to make sure it is not in return for favours.

You should have declared you worked for them at the start of your response surely ;)

It's irrelevant that her father doesn't have a leadership role, she has a financial interest in the company.
 
I can't really see what Sunak hoped to gain by this non-declaration. We knew his wife's family were extremely wealthy and that she, personally, was also minted. The Guardian has provided the detail, but this was widely presumed and not that hard to discover. This makes me more suspicious, not less. What is it that he really wants to hide?

She owns less than 1%of Infosys has no say in day to day or strategic decisions at Infosys and if she tried to use her influence with the British government she would be called out for it. You are right, and I did say in my post the conflict should have been recorded. My point was only that, from a moral standpoint Infosys knock the British government out of the park. In fact her father Narayana Murthy stepped down as ceo to force Infosys to take a more moral approach to their business dealings. It largely worked in the shakeup at board level. I know the ceo and the coo at Infosys one of them very well. They are honest men

Wow you've really drunk the kool aid, I don't think I'd every be that sure about the integrity of a company I worked for.
