Last June, Nazri revealed that RM48.7 million from public funds was spent on Seri Perdana and Sri Satria between 2006 and 2010.
Breaking down the RM48.7 million expense, Nazri said RM33 million was spent on rental payment to local authority Perbadanan Putrajaya, RM10.2 million on electricity bills, RM3.5 million for maintenance and RM1.96 million for water.
