-

KOTA KINABALU: Gerakan Akar Umbi Umno (GAUM) wants clarificat­ion from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) pertaining to the agency’s investigat­ion against three political individual­s in relation to alleged corruption practice.

GAUM president Datuk Zulkarnain Mahdar said a memorandum has been submitted to the MACC headquarte­rs in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur on Thursday to seek clarificat­ion on the agency’s investigat­ion against Parti Warisan Sabah president Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, Parti Warisan Sabah vice-president Datuk Peter Anthony, and PKR vice-president cum secretary general Rafizi Ramli.

On the matter relating to Shafie and Anthony, Zulkarnain request MACC to provide reports on the agency’s investigat­ion against both accused in their alleged involvemen­t on rural projects worth RM53 million.

According to Zulkarnain, the allegation of corruption against Shafie and Antony were made by Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) founder, Chegu Bard, in the latter’s blog which was then followed by an official report to the MACC on March 2017.

Zulkarnain also wants MACC to complete their investigat­ion on Rafizi on the latter’s allegation of corruption involving the Selangor State Government.

He said Razifi had come forward and made an official report to MACC on May 2016 but till today, no action had been taken by the agency.

Zulkarnain added that the memorandum was received by MACC deputy director of communicat­ion Kamaruddin M Ripin and would follow up on the investigat­ion.
