KOTA KINABALU: A deputy director of a government department was charged in the Sessions Court here today on 46 counts of corruption and abuse of power involving RM55,020 between 2019 and 2021.

Mahriyatty Bahrin, 42, who is a grade J44 civil engineer at the Sabah State Contractor Service Centre pleaded not guilty to all the charges before Judge Abu Bakar Manat.

Mahriyatty faces imprisonment for a term not exceeding 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the bribe or RM10,000 - whichever is higher - if convicted.
