Jules, thanks for all that; we will see how it continues to evolve in the next few weeks.
And Jules, you have also been looking into another Mira-related company, that's MW Motor Imports. What have you found out?
MW Motor Imports - we're reliably informed that this company also has a family connection to former Minister Oscar Mira - and that the initials suggest the owners' last names. In fact 7News has received a copy of an email where Oscar's brother Keith Mira's name appears as the sales rep - responding to a sales inquiry saying they have a large inventory of Toyota, Mitsubishi and Nissan. But where? The business lists no address or phone number - just a plain Facebook page and an email address - and none of the car dealers we spoke to had heard of or seen this "large inventory of Toyota, Mitsubishi and Nissan."
In 2026 - the Ministry of Home Affairs published this notice for the supply 12 pickups. It was published in February, right when the fiscal year was winding down.
But, highly placed sources tell us, the original plan was to purchase it from a recommended supplier. Would that recommendation have been for MW Motor Imports which planned to supply Nissan Navarro pickups?
It's a million dollar acquisition and wiser voices insisted that it had to go to tender and to the Contractor General - which it did.
Those tenders were opened up on March fifth, 2026 and it shows that MW Motors did submit a bid for 1.1 million dollars. - one of 9 bids. The company's rep was not present at the opening so they did not sign it.
Turns out the tender documents were defective and the process was scrapped - so no one won the bid - and the fiscal year elapsed - so the vehicles were not purchased, at least not yet.
