The opposition should be aware that it is the responsibility of a party leader to source for funds to ensure that all programmes can be carried out, said Umno supreme council member Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin.

He also said Umno is fotunate to have Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak as its president because he is transparent.

“It is the task of the party lead to look for money... for example, my heads of divisions ask for money to carry out activities, they never ask where the money comes from.

“If a party leader is unable to source for funds, then he should not be a leader.

“We are fortunate because our party leader is transparent. Najib has explained several times (where the funds came from), but the opposition refuses to believe (the explanations),” he told Umno Online.
