'RCI on MACC must be established whether Azam retires or not'; Hamzah says no to Umno

KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Critics pushing for MACC reform remain unmoved by speculation that Putrajaya might not extend the service of its scandal-tainted chief, Azam Baki, after his term expires on May 12.Instead, their calls for establishing a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to investigate recent damning allegations against the anti-graft agency have only grown louder.Bersih stressed that an RCI is crucial to address all issues plaguing MACC.Meanwhile, in a separate story, sacked Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin has indicated that he will proceed with plans to be a part of a new political entity, rather than accept an invitation to return to Umno.“There is no need to join (Umno),” said Hamzah when quizzed on Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s remarks that all former members are welcome to rejoin the party under his “Rumah Bangsa” vision.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
