Former Minister of Rural Development and Local Government, Faris Al-Rawi, is responding to government's claims of widespread corruption in the URP and CEPEP programmes. While he notes he was never the line Minister for URP, he says, he only ever received but one report concerning CEPEP.
00:00The report that I got was in relation to a CPEP contractor, and I was asked to provide certain information because the police were looking into matters concerning that CPEP contractor, and I passed it to my permanent secretary to deal with that.
00:15In the three years that I was there, not a single other report was done. Never seen or heard of any police investigation.
