SEMPORNA: The ongoing probe into the siphoning of funds for rural poor projects is not a political witch-hunt but focussed on eradicating corruption, said Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad. We are investigating any misuse or abuse of government funds meant to benefit the people," said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) chief commissioner, dismissing claims by Parti Warisan Sabah that the probe was politically-motivated. "We will call all in due course," he said, adding that 45 people had been arrested so far and the MACC was scrutinising over 70 rural development projects in Sabah.

"As a government agency, MACC wants to ensure that all projects are implemented with honesty and integrity.
