A new bill for the establishment of an ombudsman group is expected to be tabled in Parliament before the year-end, says National Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption Centre (GIACC) director-general, Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed.
He said the bill, one of the key initiatives under the National Anti-Corruption Plan (NACP) 2019-2023, would be tabled at the next Parliament sitting, expected to be in November or December, and the draft was now at the Attorney General’s Chambers, to be finalised.
“I may not be able to explain the details of the ombudsman group… but in principle, the federal government has agreed to form it based on the National Anti-Corruption Plan (NACP) 2019-2023, but it will be focusing on the federal government and its agencies.” TS Abu Kassim
