KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 — Several Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs today called for the Attorney General (AG) to be placed on temporary leave pending an independent investigation into the delay in implementing Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s house arrest.
The lawmakers said yesterday’s fresh High Court order had upheld justice but did not absolve the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) of responsibility for what they described as serious administrative oversights that had damaged public confidence in the institution.
“The implementation of house arrest does not erase the delay, and a settlement does not eliminate accountability; the AG must answer why the deferral occurred and who is responsible,” Tenggara MP Manndzri Nasib said, reading aloud from a statement in a press conference at Parliament here.
