MACC should be under purview of Parliament, given powers to prosecute, says Rais


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should be legally supervised by Parliament and given its own prosecution powers, says Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim.

The Special Committee on Corruption (SCC) chairman suggested that Article 145 of the Federal Constitution be amended so that MACC would be answerable to Parliament.
