Funding by MPP to Positive Vibration for Bula 7's

Concerned Member made this Official Information request to Ministry for Pacific Peoples

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Concerned Member to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Concerned Member

Dear Ministry for Pacific Peoples,

On behalf of concerned members of the Fijian Community, Wellington Fijian Flyers and the Bula 7's committee I would like to request information about funding to Positive Vibrations (PV) for the Bula 7's that was held in Porirua on 22nd January 2022.

What is concerning is that the Director of Positive Vibrations has not been transparent in his dealings and had denied anything about funding until an article from MPP clearly stated that PV sponsored the tournament. Link to the article for your reference; https://www.mpp.govt.nz/news-and-events/...

This is far from the truth as PV donated only $1200 while other prize money was sourced from other donors and registration fees of teams. On the same note, PV claimed back $4448.00 from Bula 7's for payments PV had done on behalf of Bula 7's.

We still have not been able to get a clear breakdown of the funding and how much was supposed to have been directed towards the Bula 7's.

If need be, I am able to provide email trails with PV.

I look forward to your kind assistance

Yours faithfully,
Concerned Member
