MP’s Stolen Items Recovered

MP’s Stolen Items Recovered

Following a complaint to Parliamentary Services today [September 19], items which had been stolen from NZ First MP Andrew Williams’ Wellington parliamentary office have been recovered and returned.

“I am greatly disappointed and disturbed to learn that some of the items were recovered from Deputy Leader Tracey Martin’s office. No MP has any right to enter another MP’s office and help themselves to valuable items. These items were assets for which I was responsible to Parliamentary Services during my term of Parliament.”

“This was not a ‘humbug complaint’ as New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters is quoted as saying today. Parliamentary Services have taken this matter very seriously, as has the NZ First Chief of Staff, as this unprincipled behaviour is unacceptable within the Parliamentary precinct. It amounts to theft and Tracey Martin and others involved should be taken to task for their actions.”
