Affidavit will prove money flow from Najib’s accounts to BN parties, says group
(The Malaysian Insider) – A group advocating government accountability has promised to make public a sworn affidavit this week to show how millions of ringgit from the prime minister’s personal bank accounts went to Barisan Nasional (BN) parties for use in the 2013 general election.
Citizens for Accountable Governance Malaysia (CAGM) said the documents, when revealed, will incriminate the current administration.
“Once exposed, it will outline how the money came in and came out from the PM’s accounts and basically how the whole thing worked,” said CAGM patron, Md Zainal Abidin.
“It will join the dots and complete the puzzle,” the lawyer added.
On Sunday, CAGM claimed millions of ringgit from Najib’s private accounts at AmBank in Kuala Lumpur had been channelled to BN component parties in the run-up to the 13th general election (GE13) in May 2013.
Zainal told The Malaysian Insider yesterday that the sworn affidavit was part of court documents filed by a certain person from the banking industry in a suit over another matter at the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
He said he had obtained the plaintiff’s permission to reveal the sworn statement.
“We have a couple of documents, including this sworn affidavit which is being used by this person to seek legal redress.
“Now we just need to iron out certain issues, such as possible contempt of court, and then we will make it public within the next few days,” Zainal said.
