RIYADH: The Consultative Committee for Inspection at the Shoura Council has called on the national anti-graft body to disclose accounts of individuals who are suspected of involvement in corruption transactions.
A proposal in this regard will be put to vote on Tuesday after members debate on the issue.
The Human Rights Commission and Watch Bodies at the Shoura Council has approved a motion allowing the National Anti-Corruption Commission, or Nazaha, to monitor through Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) banking transactions of persons suspected of being involved in shady deals.
The committee adopted the proposal of Saud Al-Subaie, head of the security committee of the council, on its annual report of the commission.
However, the committee turned down a proposal to merge the Intelligence Bureau with the Directorate and Control of Crimes Department. The commission did not indicate the reasons for rejecting the recommendation.
Regarding the report of the anti-corruption commission, the concerned body has submitted an amendment to the first recommendation for enabling the body to get the final versions of judicial judgments in corruption cases.
A clear text was added in order to pursue the recovery of funds and the revenue generated from corruption offenses pursuant to Paragraph VI of the substance organizing body.
However, it has kept the third recommendation that calls for coordination with the Ministry of Education to emphasize the integrity and transparency in the educational system's values.
Abdullah Al-Otaibi has declined his additional proposal to urge them to cooperate with the civic society institutions and strengthen its role in the fight against corruption.
Meanwhile, Hanan Al-Ahmadi demanded that her call for the role of follow-up, audit and legal departments in government agencies in the fight against corruption in all its forms should be submitted to the Council on Tuesday after the vote on the recommendations of the Commission on Human Rights.
