Only Auditor-General's report classified under OSA, says Nur Jazlan
KLUANG: Only support documents from the Auditor-General that accompany the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on the administration of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) are classified under the Official Secrets Act 1972 (OSA).
The PAC's summarised report can be tabled in Parliament said Deputy Home Minister I Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed (pic).
"The report classified under the OSA is the A-G's report. It must be made clear to avoid any misunderstanding," he said attending an Excellent Service Awards presentation for the Prison Department's Intan Kampus Wilayah Selatan (IKHWAS), here Saturday.
What is important is that the PAC report needs the consensus of all panel members to ensure the report has credibility, said Nur Jazlan.
"The PAC report will be accompanied by support documents from the A-G. Since the A-G report is a support document to the PAC report, it can be tabled," said Nur Jazlan, the former PAC chairman when commenting on the uncertainty surrounding the tabling of the A-G and PAC reports in Parliament.
On Friday, PAC chairman Datuk Hasan Arifin said the Auditor-General had classified the final report on 1MDB under the OSA in light of information leaks on its interim report submitted last July.
Hasan had said it would be up to the A-G to decide whether to lift the OSA declaration on the final 1MDB report or not, and only after the PAC has tabled its findings on the matter in Dewan Rakyat. – Bernama
