Figueira, Edghill clash at PAC over disposal of derelict vehicles

Jermaine Figueira

Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman Jermaine Figueira and committee member, PPP/C MP Juan Edghill yesterday clashed over a decision to withhold the names of the purchasers of derelict vehicles which had been  the property of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs

At the time, the Auditor General’s 2017 report was being considered by Parliament’s  PAC.

Informing Edghill that  he was “out of order” as he sought to voice his concerns and questioned the rationale behind the decision while the chairman was on the floor, Figueira directed the technical staff to mute the Public Works Minister’s microphone.
