Machang MP wants AG to explain Zahid’s DNAA at special Parliament sitting


PETALING JAYA: An emergency motion has been filed by Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal (pic) to hold a special Parliament sitting for the Attorney General to explain the decision to grant Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA).

According to Wan Ahmad, the motion was sent to Parliament at 8.30am on Friday (Sept 8), and he requested the sitting to be held on Sept 11.

Wan Ahmad argued that the Attorney General’s explanation was necessary as the issue involves public interest.

“It is also to uphold the integrity of the Federal Government and the law.

“Let’s spread the word so this motion will be considered by the Parliament Speaker,” said Wan Ahmad in a Facebook post Friday.

The Parliament is scheduled to sit for six days from Sept 11 to table the mid-term review of the 12th Malaysia Plan and subsequently debate it.

On Monday (Sept 4), the High Court granted a DNAA to Ahmad Zahid for all 47 graft charges involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds.
