PETALING JAYA: The Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) members should resign and be held accountable over their actions involving Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki's shares controversy, says Dr Edmund Terence Gomez.

Gomez, who resigned from the MACC’s Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel last month, said that the ACAB board members had admitted that they have no power to exonerate Azam, something which they allegedly did in November last year after hearing the top graft buster's explanation about the shares he owned in 2015.
