Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today stressed that the Unity Government under his leadership does not interfere in the investigations carried out by any law enforcers, including the investigation conducted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) against Bersatu.
Speaking at a press conference after chairing the weekly Cabinet meeting here today, Anwar said the investigation, enforcement and judiciary bodies remain independent to carry out their respective investigations.
He said it was irresponsible for the opposition party to make accusations against the Unity Government relating to the issue.
“We will not do what they did and we will not use these (investigation and enforcement) bodies,” he said.
Yesterday, Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin was reported as saying that the party is disappointed with the Pakatan Harapan (PH) – Barisan Nasional (BN) government’s move to use a government agency to achieve its political aim of killing the credibility of Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional (PN) to achieve their political agenda.
MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki had also confirmed that the graft-busters have frozen Bersatu’s accounts to investigate funds believed to have been obtained from illegal proceeds.
