MP Police Arrest Water Resources Officials Over Bribe in Mzangay Dam Project

In a move that underscores the state's anti-corruption drive, the police commissioner of Sagar arrested a divisional accountant and a clerk from the Water Resources Department on Tuesday. The officials are accused of taking a bribe from a contractor in exchange for clearing the final payment for the Mzangay dam canal project. Police say the bribe was demanded to expedite the settlement of the project’s last bill, which was pending for months. The arrested officers are now under investigation, and the case is expected to be forwarded to the anti-corruption bureau for further action.
