PKR hari ini mempertikaikan tindakan Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita,
Keluarga dan Masyarakat sewaktu dipimpin Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil yang
didakwa menyalurkan peruntukan kepada sebuah pertubuhan tidak
berdaftar.Pengarah Strategi PKR, Rafizi Ramli mendakwa, kerajaan menyalurkan hampir RM5 juta setahun melalui Majlis Pembangunan Wanita dan Keluarga (MPWK) yang disifatkannya 'organisasi haram dianggotai ketua-ketua Wanita Umno" di setiap kawasan parlimen.
Menurut Rafizi, semakannya dengan Pendaftar Pertubuhan mendapati MPWK tidak pernah didaftarkan, sekali gus menjadikannya "pertubuhan haram".
Rafizi juga mendakwa, walaupun asalnya keanggotaan MPWK terdiri daripada exco wanita dari kerajaan-kerajaan negeri seluruh Malaysia, ia kini diketuai ketua Wanita Umno negeri di peringkat negeri dan ketua Wanita Umno bahagian di peringkat Parlimen.
Selain daripada MPWK yang ditubuhkan pada tahun 2001 sebaik Shahrizat dilantik menjadi menteri penuh, Rafizi percaya lebih banyak lagi wang kerajaan disalurkan kepada Wanita Umno oleh Shahrizat.
Justeru, beliau menuntut Datuk Seri Najib Razak yang memangku jawatan menteri pembangunan wanita, keluarga dan masyarakat agar tampil menjelaskan dakwaannya itu.
"Kita minta penjelasan dari Najib (kerana) semua aktiviti dia (MPWK) adalah aktiviti Wanita Umno," kata Rafizi.
Sementara itu, Ketua Wanita PKR, Zuraida Kamaruddin pula menuntut Najib membubarkan segera MPWK dan mengarahkan siasatan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) terhadap perkara itu.
Beliau yang mengemukakan surat jemputan konvensyen MPWK didakwa dari kementerian itu kepada seorang ketua Wanita Umno bahagian sebagai bukti dan berikrar tampil dengan bukti lain bagi mengukuhkan dakwaannya.
"Wanita PKR akan terus mengemukakan bukti sekiranya tiada maklum balas dari Najib, Shahrizat dan SPRM," katanya.- malaysiakini
Shahrizat misused ministry funds...
Opposition party PKR has accused a former
Umno minister of “misappropriating” ministry allocations to fund Wanita
Umno activities and functions.
“The
use of public funds to pay for party activities that financially
benefits party leaders is a serious offence under the law,” stressed
Wanita PKR chief Zuraida Kamaruddin (right).
The monies, she claimed, were channeled through the Majlis Pembangunan Wanita dan Keluarga (MPWK) formed under the ambit of the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry once headed by former senator Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, who is currently Wanita Umno chief.
MPWK, which was supposed to comprise of women’s exco members from each state, was however hijacked by the Wanita Umno state and division level leadership at the council’s state and district level respectively, Zuraida claimed.
Allocations of over RM5 milion a year were then allegedly funneled for Wanita Umno activities and functions disguised under MPWK for 11 years, since the council’s founding in 2001, amounting to RM55 million.
All this, Zuraida alleged, happened under Shahrizat's watch while she was still Women, Family and Community Development Minister.
She added that PKR has proof of the matter and will expose everything pending an explanation and urgent action from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is in charge of the ministry for the moment.
She furnished the press with a copy of a letter purportedly from MPWK to a Wanita Umno division leader in Kuala Lumpur asking for reply to an invitation to a function and telling her that all travel claims and expenses can be reimbursed from the council’s operational allocations.
Other proof, Zuraida claimed, was being withheld until Najib can respond to them.
Dismantle MPWK
They are demanding that Shahrizat resign as Wanita Umno head, Najib dismantle the MPWK which they claim is an illegal and unregistered organisation, an internal investigation launched into the extent of the alleged misappropriation and for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency to investigate.
Failure to comply would see them disclose their evidence to the public, warned Zuraida.
Shahrizat’s aide when contacted over the matter by Malaysiakini, said that he will refer the allegations to the Wanita Umno chief for her response.
This is the second allegation of corruption linked to Shahrizat levelled by PKR. Previously the opposition party had accused her husband and children of misappropriating money from a RM250 million government funded national feedlot and cattle rearing project, the now infamous NFC scandal.
Shahrizat and her family have maintained their innocence, though the matter became the target of both the MACC and police Commercial Crimes Investigation Department, with her husband and NFC chairperson Salleh Ismail currently facing charges of CBT and breaching the Companies Act.
The former minister had resigned her cabinet post after mounting public pressure over the NFC scandal, but has held on tenaciously to her party post, despite many voices from within and without Umno calling for her to let go of her Wanita chief post as well.-malaysiakini
