PUTRAJAYA, Dec 2 (Bernama) -- Five members of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Complaints Committee (JKA) have received their appointment letters to serve on the independent monitoring panel for the 2024-2027 term.

MACC in a statement today announced that their appointments, effective today, were made administratively by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The appointees are Datuk Dr Ruziati Mior Ahamad Ariffin, who will serve as JKA chairperson, along with Prof Datuk Noor Aziah Mohd Awal, Adrain Jerome Karuna Devan, Datuk Mohd Rabin Basir and Datuk Dr Alauddin Sidal.

According to the MACC, the appointment of JKA members as independent monitors aligned with the provisions of Section 15 of the MACC Act 2009. Their role is to oversee the handling of complaints about non-criminal misconduct involving MACC officers.

“These appointees come from professional backgrounds in various fields and their selection represents recognition of their abilities, expertise and integrity.

“The MACC hopes this appointment will strengthen and reinforce the committee in carrying out its functions, and assist the commission in improving its systems and work procedures,” the statement said.

The JKA is one of five independent oversight panels of the MACC, apart from the Special Committee on Corruption, Corruption Prevention Advisory Board, Consultation and Prevention of Corruption Panel, and the Operations Evaluation Panel.
