Fahmi said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had in today's Cabinet meeting raised on the National Audit Department's reprimand against FINAS in relation to several issues on the channelling of funds to recipients, especially from 2017 until 2021.
Fahmi, however, could not give details on the reprimand because the matter would have to be presented in Parliament first, but in general he said it was related to wastages and giving out of funds to undeserved parties, in addition to payments being made for incomplete projects.
"So I hope we will soon be able to appoint Finas’ new chairman and board members who are expected to resolve the issues that have been raised.
"Currently, I see that the chief executive officer and his team are trying to resolve the issues but I have requested for a full briefing so that I can understand what exactly had happened and what are FINAS’ solutions," he said when met at the exclusive screening of the film Duan Nago Bogho here, tonight - BERNAMA
