New Zealand MP Suspended Amid Shoplifting Allegations

“Initial enquiries are still being made into this report and police are not able to comment further at this stage”, they said. Ghahraman remains an MP. She and the Green Party have declined to comment further. The MP has stood aside from all portfolios, as the party investigates the allegations. She had been the Green Party spokesperson for justice, foreign affairs, and a range of other topics. A Green Party spokesperson on Thursday, the day after accusations against Ghahraman surfaced, said there would be no more information released on Thursday.
