PH ADUNs, Two Coordinators Told To Return N. Sembilan Allocations
SEREMBAN, Aug 26 (Bernama) -- A total of 17 Pakatan Harapan (PH) state assemblymen, including six who lost their seats in the last state election, and two constituency coordinators in Negeri Sembilan have been asked to return allocations received for July to September within a month.
Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim said the repayment was sought as they no longer held any function following the dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly on June 5, with the allocations having been approved at a State Executive Council (Exco) meeting on June 3 and channelled into their accounts the following day.
The allocations, comprising funds for service centres and the people's well-being, were channelled to the ADUNs and the Paroi and Labu constituency coordinators, with each ADUN required to return RM174,000 and each coordinator RM150,000.
“However, the Exco members at the time, including former Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, retained their ex-officio status until July 31 and were eligible to use the allocation for that month,” he told reporters after chairing the Exco meeting here today.
Ismail said the former Exco members received RM225,000 in total allocations for the three-month period, but only needed to return RM150,000 for August and September.
He said his office would issue letters demanding the return of the allocations to all those involved soon.
Meanwhile, Ismail said the state government had agreed to appoint Rembau MIC Division chief Datuk VS Mogan as Coordinating Officer for Indian Community Affairs, with Exco-member status, effective Sept 1.
