Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah State Farmers’ Association (PPN) called on the relevant authorities to investigate alleged mismanagement involving the Sabah Farmers’ Association Board (Sabah LPP) management.

PPN Chairman Datuk Mohd Nazri Abdullah and Board members suspect malpractice by a senior Area Farmers’ Association (PPK) official may even be the subject of a cover-up.

He alleged the cover-ups extended to a district-level palm oil weighing centre. Misconduct of certain LPP subordinate officers is also tolerated.

“PPN Sabah has reported these malpractices to the Director, Head of Finance and Administration Branch, Head of Sabah LPP Supervision and Enforcement Unit for every offence and rule violation by the officials,” he told a press conference after chairing the Sabah PPN AJP meeting, recently.

He said the complaint was made in in line with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s statement in a monthly meeting with the Civil Servants of the Prime Minister’s Department on June 11, who wanted action taken against department heads, unit heads who protected the wrongdoing of subordinates.

“We also forwarded a copy of this official complaint to the Prime Minister, Director General of Public Service Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz, Director General of LPP, Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC),” Mohd Nazri said.
