	In September 2011, Prime Minister Peter O'Neill directed the Attorney General Allan Marat to investigate allegations that the MDRC had squandered Landowners' monies through imprudent and improper investments. The allegations include the purchase of a 50% stake in a helicopter company for PGK70 million, which appeared to have an actual value of PGK30 million. The MDRC has denied any involvement in corrupt payments or deals.
