List of direct negotiation projects issued in interest of transparency - Tengku Zafrul

: Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz has reiterated that the list of government projects awarded via direct negotiations under the Pakatan Harapan government was released in the interest of transparency.

“There is nothing wrong in conducting direct negotiations for projects under Section 6 of the Financial Procedure Act 1957 . “And there are policies surrounding it as well, which enable justification for direct negotiations,” he said.“To me, it is just factual, and a reflection of what was signed based on the data that we have in the Ministry of Finance , and it should not be an issue,” he told reporters after launching the Dana Penjana Nasional here today.

Yesterday, MoF released a list of 101 projects awarded via direct negotiations worth RM6.61 billion which were approved during the PH administration.“To me, it is just factual, and we don’t talk about who negotiated it or when it was done in terms of LOAs, but this was what was signed during PH’s time,” he said.

He added that issues such as when the negotiations began are something that can be explained by anybody.
