Charles Santiago blasts Mahathir
KTemoc Konsiders
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been criticised for defending his decision to retain Beluran MP Ronald Kiandee as Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman.
This comes after Kiandee, a former Umno leader, joined Mahathir’s PPBM yesterday.
This latest flip-flop, Santiago said, gave credence to the belief that PH was not committed to its manifesto and institutional reforms.
Bersih 2.0, meanwhile, said it was alarmed that Mahathir has“unilaterally” decided that Kiandee can remain as PAC chairman.
“We wish to remind Tun Mahathir that the reason why the PH manifesto had it as a promise in the first place was so that the dignity of the Parliament is restored and that it should not be a mere rubber stamp to the executive branch of the government,” said the group in a statement.
