His parents were immigrants who worked hard, but smart enough to see that education was the key to success in New Zealand. They pushed Sam, he got his education, worked hard and is now a very respected electorate MP. It’s a real shame that his father passed away before Sam was promoted to the role of Minister of PI Affairs. Alfred Ngaro’s back-story is much the same – his parents worked all hours to provide for him and his siblings. He became an electrician, then later a pastor and community worker and is now a very well-regarded MP. And Alfred is giving Phil Twyford a real run for his money in Te Atatu.
