“I will certainly resign if prosecution proceedings are launched. I will not run from the responsibility and I don’t intend to hide, as other politicians do,” Ridzi said after a hearing before the parliament inquiry committee.
Last week, the Chamber of Deputies decided to set up an inquiry committee to probe allegations of fund misappropriation against Ridzi.
The allegations of fund misappropriation were forwarded by liberal MPs, who claimed Ridzi mishandled money allocated for organizing the celebrations on Youth Day.
The inquiry committee will look into the way the money was spent.
