MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki may have cleared Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor of any wrongdoing in the corruption scandal plaguing the state, but Warisan president Shafie Apdal said that’s not enough.
Shafie insisted that the scandal, which involves mining licences, be investigated thoroughly.
"If there's a tail, there must be a head too.
"It doesn't mean the person who approved (the licence) is at fault. I admit that. But this matter must be looked into - the trail of documents, transactions, and money must all be examined to identify where any abuse may have happened,” he was quoted as saying by The Star.
On Thursday, Azam said that Hajiji was not involved in the corruption scandal.
"Rest assured he (Hajiji) is not involved in this case," the MACC chief was quoted as saying by The Star.
A recording Malaysiakini obtained of Azam’s remarks has him saying that Hajiji is not involved in any of the videos surrounding the issue.
This is in reference to videos taken by a whistleblower - who was also the bribe giver in the case. Malaysiakini published a number of these videos since November. The whistleblower had also submitted the unedited version of the videos to the MACC.
Azam said that Hajiji had been questioned at least twice on the matter and was cooperative. - Mkini
