Selangor Menteri Besar's special officer Yahya Shaari MCPX (left) has been suspended from official duties from today over his alleged abuse of power in awarding cleaning contracts. It is learnt that an official letter to inform Yahya of his suspension, pending an ACA investigation, was sent today. "Yesterday MB (Khalid Ibrahim) had SMS-ed Yahya to inform him of the state's decision," an aide to Khalid added. When contacted, Yahya confirmed that he has been suspended. He will be calling for a press conference this evening. Allegations were made last month that Yahya had abused his position as Khalid's special officer in awarding cleaning and rubbish disposal contracts to four companies. The ACA is investigating the matter. Yahya's suspension comes just about two weeks after Khalid brushed of allegations that any of his top state officials were involved in graft. He had said that the ACA had looked into facts of the allegations and their initial finding was that no top officials were involved in wrongdoing.
