Andrew Little says none of the money the government signed off on for a drug rehab programme while Justice Minister, is going to a gang.
$2.75 million is being poured into a live-in programme on a marae in Hawke's Bay.
Little told Mike Hosking the funding is going to an organisation called Hard2Reach, which has a programme targeting gang members.
He says it's run by Harry Tam, who Little describes as a former gang member.
“Because he specialises in programmes at people who don’t queue up at MSD or who are otherwise hard to get onto programmes.”
