KUALA LUMPUR, Apr 10 Pakatan Rakyat (PR) lawmakers purported today a probability of "political interference" in a bipartisan Public Accounts Committee's (PAC) ongoing review of 4 scandals involving tip supervision officials.
The five PR members of a committee told a press conference today which it has been dual weeks given a assembly was convened as well as expressed concern which orders have been handed down by Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders to carry over all investigations until after a coming elections.
DAP MP Tony Pua forked out which during a start of a current parliamentary session, a PAC had listed 4 items upon a bulletin - a National Feedlot Centre (NFC), Tan Sri Tajudin Ramli's out-of-court allotment with Danaharta, 1 Malaysia Development Bhd's Petrosaudi investment as well as a magisterial cost of KLIA2.
But, Pua complained, a PAC had only met upon a NFC whilst a superfluous issues upon a bulletin have nonetheless to be raised.
"It has been dual weeks given our final assembly as well as a PAC has not called for an additional given then. We have asked a secretariat as well as a PAC authority for a meeting, but it looks as if you will not encounter again during this session.
"Perhaps this is since of domestic interference by those above to stop a PAC from conducting any investigation," he said.
He noted which a committee had agreed which review in to a RM250 million NFC scandal should proceed although a matter has reached a courts, indicating out which a PAC's review would not hold upon issues to be lifted in a courtroom.
"What is in court right away is a squeeze of a One Menerung common ownership section (by National Feedlot Corporation or NFCorp) as well as an additional is a emanate of criminal crack ! of certi tude in involving RM40 million from a NFC's accounts.
"The PAC's review does not hold upon both matters... you have been looking during a administration of a method as well as other mismanagement not related to that," he said.
Pua lifted suspicion over a recent matter by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin which a NFC case should no longer be discussed as it is right away in court.
"Did a DPM send orders for all PAC investigations to be postponed until after a polls?
"Is there a hand at a back of a scenes which is preventing a PAC (from investigating), to create a cover up, to prevent a prime apportion from suffering in a polls?" he asked.
The NFCorp, a association run by former apportion Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil's family which supervises a NFC, hit inhabitant headlines final year after a association made it in to a Auditor-General's Report final year for missing prolongation targets.
Shahrizat's husband - NFCorp executive authority Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail was recently charged in court for purported criminal crack of certitude involving a use of a RM250 million federal loan.
He has denied a assign as well as confirmed which he is innocent.
The PR MPs today also suggested which an initial plan to revisit a NFC cattle-farming scheme in Gemas, Negri Sembilan, was called off unexpected but reason.
"For us to know more, you decided to do a site revisit to Gemas. But even which was cancelled but us meaningful why," Tumpat MP Kamaruddin Jaafar said.
DAP's Tan Seng Giaw noted which so long as Parliament has not been dissolved, a PAC should proceed with a responsibilities as well as examine all counts upon a agenda.
PKR's William Leong agreed, noting which "closure" upon a scandals should be sought as it involves open monies.
"Perhaps there have been orders from BN for a PAC to! no long er proceed with a work," he said.
