SHILLONG: Former Mendipathar legislator Frankenstein W. Momin has denied the allegations of incumbent MLA Marthon J. Sangma that he had made illegal withdrawal of funds from Resubelpara Block by misusing his official seal.
“This is totally wrong, unwarranted and is politically motivated. This only shows his shallowness or otherwise his engrossment with the coming 2018 Assembly election in Mendipathar where he thinks that I may be his potential enemy for elections,” Momin said in a statement on Monday.
He said all the schemes have been implemented under the direct supervision of the Block and the money was sanctioned to the same beneficiaries who have been doing the work.
“The only thing is that Marthon J. Sangma could not replace the names of the beneficiaries halfway with his own people. This is the central point of complaint. But there is no question of my illegally withdrawing the funds,” he said.
On the issue of utilization certificates, Momin clarified that he had never issued UC after he demitted office as MLA.
