Meka Whaitiri
MP for Ikaroa-Rāwhiti

Statement from Meka Whaitiri

“I welcome the public release of the official investigation report and the associated information,” Meka Whaitiri said.

“At all times I have fully cooperated with the investigation.

“I have accepted the Prime Minister’s decision and I intend to work hard to regain her confidence.

“As noted I contested some of the allegations.

“However I am disappointed my behaviour led to a complaint. I am committed to my own development, including better managing employment relationships.

“I am focusing on working hard for the people of Ikaroa-Rāwhiti, as a member of Labour and Māori Caucus and contributing as a Member of Parliament.

“I will be making no further comment.”
