'Its implementation is still being refined as it may involve additional financial implications of almost RM300 million' theSun theSundaily PrimeMinister AnwarIbrahim government Parliament
: The proposed separation of powers between the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the the public prosecutor’s office is already being studied, but its implementation is quite complicated and requires more time as it involves financial implications.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that in principle, many have agreed with the proposed separation of powers, but its implementation is still being refined as it may involve additional financial implications of almost RM300 million. “But I agree that is not the main consideration because what’s important is that to ensure a prosecution process is transparent and independent,” he said during the Minister’s Question Time session in the Dewan Rakyat today.
He said this in reply to a supplementary question from Chiew Choon Man on whether the government is ready to separate the Public Prosecutor’s office from the AGC in the near future, in order to prevent selective political prosecution. Meanwhile, Anwar admitted that some political leaders from the government and opposition bloc are being probed by the authorities, but whether they would be charged in court would depend on the AGC. - Bernama
