Scheduling conflicts delaying convening of parliamentary committees – Speaker

Manzoor Nadir

Meetings to elect chairpersons for the 14 standing committees of the 12th Parliament have still not been convened due to “scheduling conflicts”.

This is according to Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir who told Stabroek News yesterday that the meetings remain a top priority for his office.

However at least one member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) from each side of the House have told Stabroek News that they have not been contacted by Parliament.
