Te Runanga o Ngati
Ruanui is made up of 16 Pou Tuara
Responsibility of the Pou Tuara
The core responsibility of the Hapu Representative is
outlined in the Amalgamated Deed of Trust as follows:
10.2 - Fundamental Duty
The Pou Tuara and Alternative Pou
Tuara will administer the assets and liabilities of Te Runanga
as kaitiaki for Ngati Ruanui. In performing those duties
each Pou Tuara and Alternative Pou Tuara will act in
good faith and in a manner that:
-
a) is consistent with tikanga, Ngati
Ruanuitanga; and
-
b) the Pou Tuara and
Alternative Pou Tuara believes on reasonable grounds is in the
best interests of Ngati Ruanui.
10.3 - Collective interests of Ngati
Ruanui
A Pou Tuara and Alternative Pou Tuara must not,
when exercising powers or performing duties as a Hapu
Representative, act or agree to act in a manner which unfairly
prejudices or unfairly discriminates against any particular
Beneficiaries unless that Pou Tuara and
Alternative Pou Tuara believes on reasonable grounds that the
fundamental duty set out in sub-clause 10.2 requires such
action.
