KUALA LUMPUR: The Finance Ministry has the final say on the appointment of the Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) chief executive officer, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications and Digital Minister said appointments for Minister of Finance Incorporated entities were not under the purview of his ministry.

"DNB is a gazetted agency that the Communications and Digital Ministry oversees but we do not make that decision ," he said at a press conference at the Parliament briefing centre on Monday ."You will know when you know," he said. Last week, it was reported that the contract of DNB chief executive officer Augustus Ralph Marshall, which ended on March 11, was not extended.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said phase two of the National Digital Network Plan would only be rolled out once Budget 2023 was passed."Once the Budget is fully passed, then we can get to work," he said.
