KOTA BARU: Two senior officers of the Kemubu Agriculture Development Authority (Kada) detained for allegedly receiving bribes recently, were released on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) bail today.
State MACC director Rosli Husain said the two were Kada's general manager and a senior officer, who were released on bail by the Kota Baru court.
"The court has granted the two to be released on MACC bail after their remand order ended today," he said.
He said the case is being investigated under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act 2009.
Last week, state MACC obtained another three-day remand order against two of the four senior officers of Kada for allegedly receiving bribes.
The extension remand order against the two including the 49-year-old general manager and the 47-year-old senior officer were obtained at the Sessions court here.
On the same day, the court also allowed two other Kada officers, to be released on MACC's bail.
It was reported that three Kada officers including its general manager were arrested by MACC on May 5 for allegedly receiving bribes.
The three, all men, were detained when they were summoned to the Kelantan MACC headquarters to have their statements recorded.
Aged between 49 and 40, they were detained separately between 7.15pm to 8pm.
On Apr 30, state MACC nabbed a Kada senior officer, in his 40s, for allegedly making false claims for the agency's programmes.
He allegedly made the false claims between last year to early this year.
