TMI - DAP wants independent panel to tackle government financial abuse

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 — DAP publicity chief Tony Pua has called for the creation of a Financial Accountability Commission (FAC) to take action against government officers found guilty of financial abuse and mismanagement.

Professionals like the Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) and Transparency International Malaysia (TI) should lead this body, according to Pua, and exclude civil servants to avoid conflicts of interest.

Pua (picture) said the FAC, which would be put under parliamentary control, was necessary as most errant officers were only reprimanded while the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was limited to produce recommendations.
