A memo leaked to Postmedia instructs officials to redirect interview requests from the office of the auditor general to the government’s legal counsel.

Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi says the move is not stonewalling, but an effort to enhance efficiency.

The move is one of three probes into allegations made by fired AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos about corrupt health-care procurement.
