“There is a lack of mechanism on the distribution of the funds and no transparency on the criteria used to distribute the funds,” he said in a press conference at his office today. “I had asked him a few months back about this and he merely brushed aside my queries by saying he was only answerable to the prime minister,” he said.
He pointed out that one organisation was given two payments amounting to nearly RM10 million and some other dubious organisations offering un-recognised educational programmes were also receiving funds under Mitra.
