Attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali must explain why he didn't let the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) get overseas bank statements relating to the RM2.6 billion donation received by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

MACC operations review panel member Lim Chee Wee said the graftbuster needed Apandi's consent on its request to get the documents under the mutual legal assistance (MLA) agreements.
