The Consultation Session was led by KL MACC Deputy Director (Prevention) PPj Razali Khamis at the Economic Plannning Division Meeting Room in DBKL Tower on 23 April 2019.

Among the recommendations proposed are:

• Orders/ Support from any Members of the Administration/ influential parties must not be construed as directives/ decision for any procurement. Procurement Department must remove the clause concerning Orders/ Support from any individuals from the existing Procurement Guidelines.
