“Based on our findings, there is a politician who had used an allocation (for a rural area project) to build a two-kilometre bridge and after checking, our informant said the project was not even needed.
“However, it was being done as the bridge became a connection to (his) farm,” she says when tabling the investigation papers titled ‘The Risk of Corruption in Rural Development Sector.’ She spoke in conjunction with the National Level Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption Research Conference, Second Edition 2023 at the Movenpick Convention Centre. The report is from Sinar.
