A witness in the corruption trial of Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor over the supply and installation of solar energy systems in 369 schools in Sarawak, was accused of making the former prime minister’s wife a scapegoat in the case.

The 12th prosecution witness was giving his statement on the 15th day trial of the case in which Rosmah, 68, is facing a charge of soliciting RM187.5mil and two charges of receiving a bribe of RM6.5mil from Jepak Holdings managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin.
