Dear Ministry of Māori Development,

 

Under the OIA please provide the following information:

 

Is the Ministry of Māori Development aware of alleged bullying allegations
and complaints at the Manukau Urban Māori Authority (MUMA) involving the
CEO and the alleged trespassing of union representatives? If so, when was
the Ministry first made aware?

 

Please provide all communications including but not limited to texts,
emails and meeting notes, concerning the notification and any ongoing
discussions/meetings involving the matter. This should include internal
communications and external communications if any, with MUMA or its
representatives.

 

What action if any, has the Ministry taken to address concerns that
funding could be provided to an organisation where allegations and
complaints of alleged bullying against the CEO exist?

 

Is the Ministry aware of Labour MP Willie Jackson's alleged involvement in
this matter including allegedly meeting with the former board chair and
asking for a review to be buried.

 

Please provide all communications if any, with Mr. Jackson involving MUMA
since January 2025.

 

Thank you

 

Yours faithfully,

 

James
