## Resource

A Manurewa board member, Marshal Ahluwalia, faces serious allegations of financial intimidation and corruption tied to his past role as a freight operations manager, with claims he pressured a contractor for payments and campaign donations. The case has been referred to the Serious Fraud Office, and two Auckland councillors have publicly called for his resignation, saying he’s lost their confidence and no longer part of their political team. Ahluwalia has taken leave from the board and hasn’t responded publicly, as the situation continues to unfold. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
