Najib to challenge appointment of private lawyer representing IRB


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Datuk Seri Najib Razak (pic) is challenging the legality of the appointment of Datuk D.P. Naban as a counsel for the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) in relation to a suit to recover RM1.69bil unpaid tax from the former prime minister.

Lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who is representing Najib, said he would be challenging Naban's appointment and qualification because the legal firm he (Naban) came from could also be in conflict of interest.
