A member of the MACC’s Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel, Edmund Terence Gomez, has resigned in protest of the panel’s inaction against MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki’s alleged ownership of close to two million shares in a public listed company.

Gomez (above) said he had first brought the matter to the attention of the panel’s chairperson Borhan Dolah on Nov 12 and had urged him to convene a meeting to discuss the “critical issue of national interest”.

Though Borhan had initially responded immediately and agreed to convene the panel, the meeting never materialised.
