Deputy State Services Commissioner Tony Hartevelt has been called in to review Tekau Plus to see if the Maori business development programme has spent taxpayer's money appropriately.
Mr Hartevelt - with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Maori businesswoman Whaimutu Dewes - will decide whether Tekau Plus, set up to develop 10 Maori businesses earning $10 million in export revenue within a decade, provided value for money for the $2 million it received from October 2007 until last November.
