LONDON: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sacked Conservative Party chair Nadhim Zahawi on Sunday after an investigation found he committed a serious breach by not being open about a tax probe, the latest scandal to hit one of Sunak's top ministers.
"Following the completion of the Independent Adviser's investigation ... it is clear that there has been a serious breach of the Ministerial Code," Sunak said in a letter to Zahawi. "Raab is rather different," the lawmaker, who declined to be named, said."One man’s bullying is another’s firm direction." Raab has denied bullying allegations.
But he found that Zahawi had failed to declare HMRC's probing of affairs, or acknowledge that they were a serious matter. Zahawi had characterised reports last July over his tax affairs as"clearly smears".
