Nothing to hide: Umno welcomes audit of Najib crowdfunding, says Asyraf
ISTANBUL: Umno has nothing to hide and welcomes any audit of its RM50 million crowdfunding effort for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, said its secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
Umno, the Malaysian political party led by former Prime Minister Najib Razak, has no reason to hide from an audit of its RM50 million crowdfunding campaign, according to its secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. Dr Asyraf stated that the party was always transparent and had created a separate account for the Najib Razak Solidarity Fund, established after a decision by the Umno Supreme Council.
The crowdfunding effort, which gathered donations from the public, amounted to RM50 million and was used to settle Najib's RM50 million fine. Dr Asyraf dismissed allegations of corruption and slander, asserting that all donations were properly recorded and accounted for. When called upon by former MP Tony Pua to have Bank Negara Malaysia and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) audit the fund, Umno complied, demonstrating its commitment to transparency and accountability.
