KUALA LUMPUR (April 2, 2007): The government has denied it allocated RM3 million for each Umno division head to implement small-scale projects in their areas.
Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin said the RM3 million is part of the additional RM600 million allocated for development projects in parliamentary constituencies.
"The projects have already been implemented," he said in reply to a supplementary question from Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Barat) in Parliament (Dewan Rakyat) today.
Lim had asked why there was a RM3 million allocation for every Umno division (parliamentary constituency) which was meant to enrich the respective Umno heads.
He also asked why the RM600 million was allocated without parliamentary approval.
The RM600 allocation was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on the eve of last November’s Umno annual general meeting and the RM600 million was disbursed by the Finance Ministry on Dec 22.
Awang Adek said the allocations were channeled to the Implementation Coordination Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department and disbursed to the federal development departments and state development offices.
