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.”
