Mahara Okeroa acknowledges the sudden passing of Monte Ohia
MP for Te Tai Tonga, Hon Mahara Okeroa, has expressed his deep sorrow at the sudden passing of Monte Ohia, Maori Party

"I offer my sincerest condolences to his wife, Linda, their children, whanau, close friends and Maori Party colleagues
at this sad time," Mahara Okeroa said.

reo Maori. My thoughts are with Monte's whanau at this time," Mahara Okeroa said.
