THERE was no hanky-panky or abuse of power in the sale of the Perak Umno building and the land along Jalan Sultan Nazrin Shah.

State Rural Development, Agriculture, Plantation, Information and Human Capital Development Committee chairman Datuk Saarani Mohamad (BN-Kota Tampan) said Perak Umno had in 2001 paid Cash Hotel Sdn Bhd a sum of RM9.63mil for the land and building next to the company’s hotel, then known as the Casuarina Parkroyal Hotel Ipoh.
