PUTRAJAYA: The people have a right to get an explanation on the littoral combat ship (LCS) procurement issue, and in this matter the government will not cover it up because it boils down to integrity, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He stressed that this issue concerning the procurement of assets by the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) in a RM9.13bil contract should be prudently explained to avert speculation and the people jumping to conclusions.
