ACA Allowed To Investigate Money Politics In Umno, Says Abdullah
SERDANG, Aug 12 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) is allowed to investigate cases involving money politics in the run up to the Umno election in December.
Abdullah, who is also the Umno president, said however they concerned certain cases which enabled the ACA to take action.
"The Umno headquarters had decided and allowed the ACA to come in and investigate," he told in Kuala Lumpur Tuesday.
He said this when asked to comment on a report that a 'Datuk' who is an Umno division head, and the division secretary in Sabah had been interrogated by the ACA yesterday following allegations that they were involved in money politics.
The duo, who are in their 50's, were said to have offered several Sabah Umno branch leaders RM1, 500 each to secure nominations for the divisional election in October.
He said he had not been informed about the person involved and it was possible that there were certain aspects that required the ACA to come in.
