.anwaribrahim tells why he retained Azam Baki as SPRMMalaysia chief
He said his decision to retain Azam, who was appointed by former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, was also due to the fact that the MACC is an independent body. “That is why when I assumed power, I chose not to change the MACC chief commissioner chosen by Pagoh , so as to avoid the impression that a new prime minister would pick a new MACC chief,” he told the Dewan Rakyat.
However, he said, the proposal must first be studied by the Attorney-General’s Chambers and other government agencies before being further deliberated by a parliamentary committee.“If this process is done in time, then I have no problem with this. But the process must be respected,” he said. He was answering a question on TI’s proposal to park MACC under Parliament to ensure transparency.
