PM poorly advised on ‘improprieties’ in buying vaccines, says KJ

Former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin said he didn’t want to blame the prime minister for claiming there were improprieties in the purchase of Covid-19 vaccines.

In February, Anwar claimed some parts of the procurement of Covid-19 vaccines did not follow procedure and were signed off by ministers without the agreement of the Attorney-General’s Chambers . “I remember being asked by the prime minister in Cabinet if we had bought enough vaccines and I said we had enough to cover booster shots for adults.”

The bill is going to the PSC yet again to take into account the comments of “all stakeholders”, after it was first tabled by Khairy last year. “That is why those against GEG will say, why don’t you pass the bill first without vape controls. The health community is worried that if this is to be carried out, GEG will be forgotten forever,” he said.
