KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 — Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar has been appointed as the chairman of a Special Investigation Committee to look into the issue of share ownership involving Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said the committee also comprises the Public Service Department director-general Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz and the Treasury secretary-general Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican.
“This committee will conduct a detailed investigation to ensure due process and fairness to the individual concerned.
“The findings and recommendations will be submitted to the Prime Minister and the relevant disciplinary authority for further consideration in accordance with established procedures,” he said in a statement yesterday.
Bloomberg had reported that Azam held shares in a financial services company based on corporate filings.
However, in a recent press conference, he said that his RM800,000 shareholding in the company was acquired transparently and in accordance with procedures.
Azam insisted that the matter had been fully disclosed and that the shares, purchased last year, had already been disposed of that year.
