PAC report on MySejahtera procurement to be tabled in July

 

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on the development and procurement of the MySejahtera application will be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat this July.

PAC chairperson Wong Kah Woh said the committee also called on Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun to allow the report to be debated by MPs for at least one day during the Parliament sitting.

“The PAC also proposed that the government takes into account the views of the PAC report that will be tabled, and the debates of MPs, before taking a decision involving financial implications in the issue of the application development,” he added.

In a statement yesterday, Wong (above) said the PAC held second proceedings on the issue on Thursday (April 21), involving three agencies under the Prime Minister's Department (PMD).

The agencies were the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (Mampu), the National Security Council (NSC), and the National Cyber Security Agency (Nacsa).

He said the agency representatives present were PMD deputy secretary-general (Finance and Development) Sollehuddin Alyubi Zakaria, and its deputy secretary-general (Management) Mohamad Ismail, Mampu director-general Yusoff Ismail, NSC director-general Rodzi Md Saad, and Nacsa chief executive Rahamzan Hashim.

According to Wong, the first proceedings on April 14 were attended by Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz and Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

“The proceedings on Thursday focused on the parties involved in appointing KPI Soft Sdn Bhd (latest name Entomo Malaysia Sdn Bhd) to develop MySejahtera, the continuity of the proposed CSR concept and the absence of a formal contract between the government and the developer company.

“The PAC also focused on the ownership of the MySejahtera application, specifically the owner of its intellectual property and the stand of KPI Soft or MySj Sdn Bhd on intellectual property ownership claims as stated in court documents and related documents,” he added.

Wong stressed that the PAC will examine all the evidence, documents, and minutes of meetings obtained, and will decide whether to summon further witnesses.
