A wero can be threatening and punishing but a koha is more likely to be accepted as a peaceful gesture.
It is accepted because a koha is a gift.
Their eyes roll knowing they may have to give monetary handouts (i.e. kohas).
The facilitators took the stance that the seminars were essentially koha to the students.
My understanding is that the Inland Revenue Department made a judgment on the situation with regard to koha payments to voluntary workers.
He received $200,000 as his golden koha.
I am not going to get into the business of defining what a koha is and what it is not.
I think at one stage he attempted to justify one of them to the New Zealand Parliament by saying it was not a gift but koha - a couple of hundred thousand dollars of koha, as I remember.
They do not like it when the Minister accepts a koha.
The member down the back asks whether that would be an offering of koha.
