ACA Prosecution Power Not Given

Minister of PM Department, Dato Seri Nazri Abd Aziz stated that no power of prosecution will be given to ACA if someone is found to breach the law. Why is the power not given? PM already give the authorisation for ACA to work independently, and if it is found guilty of someone's wrong doing, why can't they prosecuting the suspects directly?

Government wanted to follow the good example of HK ICAC style of working, if not mistaken they can press charge against those found guilty. With this way I think it can save police forces some manpower due to shortages. If all things need to go through police force, then we will have to wait for long before a case could be press forward because policemen are filled with tons of workload already now.

Another reason for not allowing ACA to prosecute may be there are too many "friends" involve in the corruption cases, and hence if not allowing ACA to press charges directly, they would be able to manipulate the outcome of the case, like what's going on famously now 'The Lingamgate Saga".

Maybe the second reason looks more realistic! What you think
