KUALA LUMPUR: A 43-year-old former National Farmers Organisation (Nafas) senior finance manager has claimed trial at a Sessions Court here to three counts of graft involving RM6,000 over contract payments relating to warehouses in Sabah and Sarawak.

Muhammad Saiful Iskandar Kassim pleaded not guilty after the charges were read out to him before Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi here on Thursday .

The monies were allegedly an inducement to speed up the process of payment for a contract involving the transportation of fertilisers from Nafas warehouses. The charge under Section 16 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 provides a maximum 20 years imprisonment and fine of no less than five times the amount of gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.However, the accused, who was unrepresented, pleaded for a lower bail on grounds that he was the family's breadwinner and has nine children.
