PAC to debate proposal for consolidated Auditor General reports to clear backlog

A proposal to consolidate three years of the Auditor General reports on government spending in a bid to clear the backlog of the work of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is expected to be debated on Monday.

At the last meeting, the item was placed on the agenda by PAC Chairman Jermaine Figueira and appeared to be accepted without any objections. However, at the end of the meeting, Figueria said two members, Gail Teixeira and another also from the government, raised objections.

As a result, the proposal for the merging of reports is expected to be debated at the next statutory meeting, scheduled for tomorrow.
