ALOR GAJAH: Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar should take immediate leave pending police investigations into reports lodged against him over the issue surrounding Datuk Seri Najib Razak's conditional pardon, Khairy Jamaluddin said.

The former Umno Youth chief said the Attorney-General should temporarily step aside to ensure transparency and integrity in the investigation, particularly as any findings by the police could eventually be referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC).

"The Attorney-General must take leave. He is now the subject of an investigation following the police reports lodged against him.

"When police reports are lodged, investigations must be carried out. If the investigations establish a case, the findings must be referred to the A-GC.
