Dave Letele: Community Leader with an update on the Red Cross funds

The Red Cross raised nearly 18 million dollars in the name of cyclone relief.

However, only 1.9 million dollars —just under 11%— has been spent in the month since Cyclone Gabrielle hit.

This number includes a 1.1 million dollar contribution to the Wairoa District council, to help those with yellow-stickered homes restore them.

South Auckland community leader Dave Letele met with Red Cross NZ Secretary General Sarah Stuart Black on Saturday to discuss transparency, and what that money has been used for.

Dave Letele joined Kerre Woodham to give an update on the situation.
