Former education ministry secretary-general Madinah Mohamad denies the defence lawyer’s suggestion that she tried to suppress information on the solar project from Najib.
Madinah Mohamad, who was the secretary-general, said she had asked then minister, Mahdzir Khalid, to tell Najib that the solar project, suggested by Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd, could not be implemented because of a lack of funds and information regarding the project. “In running a ministry like the education ministry, there is an established hierarchy where the secretary-general reports to the minister. It was not for me to overstep my boundary and go straight to the prime minister,” she said when questioned by ad-hoc prosecutor Gopal Sri Ram over the suggestion by the defence that she ought to have told Najib about the solar project.
Akberdin said Madinah had endorsed the project and awarded it to Jepak Holdings in 2016 but had come to court today to criticise the project.
