PUTRAJAYA: A former general manager of the National Farmers Organisation (Nafas) is expected to be charged by the end of this month for alleged corruption involving paddy fertiliser supplies worth RM1.8bil, says the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the anti-graft agency has completed investigations and submitted them to the deputy public prosecutor on Dec 13 last year.
“We proposed two charges against the former general manager at Nafas.
“The deputy public prosecutor has also agreed to prosecute.
“I can safely say it will be done before the end of this month. It depends on the availability of the deputy public prosecutor as well,” he told a press conference here on Tuesday (Jan 21).
In October last year, Nafas suspended its general manager who was appointed to the position in March 2023, over allegations of fund mismanagement.
MACC had also later confirmed that they were investigating alleged irregularities over a padi fertiliser supply project.
