PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should come under Parliament to ensure proper checks and balances.

Umno supreme council member Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said the appointment of the MACC chief commissioner should also be the prerogative of Parliament, and not through the advice of the Prime Minister to the King for Royal consent.

“Placing the MACC under Parliament will ensure the process of checks and balances and make it independent and transparent. Earlier, Puad had urged the Prime Minister to investigate accusations made by a professor against a top MACC official. It was reported earlier that Gomez was appointed to the MACC panel last year. His term was due to end on May 31 but he quit last Monday .
