PAS meminta Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail menyatakan berapa lama lagi tempoh siasatan lanjut Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Malaysia (SPRM) terhadap penyelewengan yang berlaku dalam Program 1Azam.
Ketua
Penerangan PAS Pusat, Datuk Mahfuz Omar berkata kenyataan Abdul Ghani
bahawa tiada campur tangan politik dan kes masih disiasat, bercanggah
dengan kenyataan SPRM bahawa pendakwaan akan dilakukan segera iaitu dua
hari selepas ikat jamin ."Sebelum ini SPRM sendiri menyatakan bahawa pendakwaan akan dilakukan dengan segera dan itu bermakna amat jelas bukti sudah ada.
"Kenapa Peguam Negara masih anggap bukti itu tidak mencukupi atau ada sesuatu disebaliknya," soal beliau pada sidang media di Pejabat Agung PAS hari ini.
Mahfuz yang juga Ahli Parlimen Pokok Sena turut melahirkan rasa kesal seolah-olah SPRM dan peguam negara sengaja melewat-lewatkan pendakwaan membabitkan individu yang ada kaitan dengan kerajaan.
Katanya, sikap yang tidak bertegas dalam isu rasuah ini menyebabkan gejala itu terus berleluasa tanpa ada sebarang ketakutan dari mereka yang mengamalkanya apatah lagi mereka itu mempunyai jawatan tinggi dalam parti dan kerajaan.
"Kes rasuah membabitkan 60 orang anggota polis senyap begitu sahaja tanpa sebarang tindakan undang-undang dan kes membabitkan penyelewengan 1Azam juga dengan alasan yang sama.
"Sikap tidak serius dalam menangani masalah rasuah ini membuatkan mereka yang terlibat dalam hal rasuah ini tidak takut apatah lagi mereka yang mempunyai kedudukan di dalam parti serta kerajaan," katanya.
Bekas setiausaha politik kepada Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil serta seorang pengarah sebuah yayasan, sebelum ini dilaporkan akan didakwa di Mahkamah Sesyen Kuala Lumpur di bawah Kanun Keseksaan atas tuduhan pecah amanah skim 1Azam membabitkan lebih RM1.1 juta dan satu lagi tuduhan menipu membabitkan RM1 juta.
Namun sehingga sekarang belum ada pendakwaan sebaliknya apabila desakan dilakukan, Peguam Negara menyatakan ia masih lagi disiasat oleh SPRM bagi mendapat bukti yang lebih kukuh.- harakahdaily
Why continued delay in charging political aide...
PAS today urged
authorities to explain the delay of the charge against an ex-Umno
political aide over the alleged breach of trust involving a
poverty-alleviation programme.
PAS information chief Mahfuz Omar (right)
said that Attorney-General's (AG's) Chambers’ claim that the issue is
still being probed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is
suspect as the MACC themselves had prior to that announced the suspect
will be charged last month.
"Questions also arise as the MACC's own independent review panel, headed by Johan Jaafar, did not know that the case was passed back to MACC and went to seek explanation from the Attorney-General's Chambers.
"Who is being slow on this? The MACC? Attorney-General's Chambers? Or since both are under the purview of the Prime Minister's Office, is it the PMO?" he asked.
Mahfuz added that AG Abdul Gani Patail should also explain the grounds for the last-minute cancellation of the charge.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of integrity Paul Low told Malaysiakini last Friday the AG's Chambers had delayed the charge to "tighten up the investigations".
Meanwhile, Mahfuz asked if there is a deadline for the investigations as the suspect, who was arrested for suspected misappropriation of funds exceeding RM1.1 million, has been released on bail.
"Justice delayed is justice denied," the Pokok Sena MP said.
Similarly, he sought an update on 60 corruption investigations against police personnel and whether charges have been brought against any of them.

PAS making inroads in Sarawak
On a separate matter, he said that the expected resignation of Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud, 77, by the end of this month will not relieve the BN of accusations of corruption in the state.
He said that Pakatan Rakyat is also now prepping for a state election, which it expects to be called by early 2015 before the implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) in April that year.
He said that although PAS has yet to win a seat in Sarawak, it improved its performance in 2011, with none of its candidates losing their deposits, like before.
"We now have lawyers, engineers and doctors representing us in Sarawak so I would say that the younger generation are open to us. Those who can't accept PAS is of Taib's generation," he said.
The Sarawak legislative assembly's term expires June 20, 2016, and snap polls can be called anytime after June 20, 2014.
Mahfuz
also brushed off allegations that a rift between PKR Selangor chief
Azmin Ali and Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim (right, in photo) will jeopardise PKR's chances in the March 23 Kajang by-election.
"The rift is just something played up by mainstream media. Azmin will go all out, as will Khalid to secure the victory of (PKR de facto leader and candidate) Anwar Ibrahim," he said.
He, however, refused to comment on a question on whether he buys PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli's justification of the 'Kajang Move', which saw PKR's Kajang assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh vacating his seat to trigger a by-election.
Specifically, he was asked if he agreed with Rafizi's remark that the move was urgently needed to fend off Umno attacks and a possible declaration of emergency, as what happened in Kelantan.
"I did not read his statement so I cannot comment," he said tersely.- malaysiakini
