Public Accounts Committee set for clash over 2019, 2020 Auditor General reports

Sanjeev Datadin

Citing the absence of parliamentary oversight or approval of government spending during 2019 and 2020, PPP/C Member of Parliament Sanjeev Datadin has tabled a motion in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for the Auditor General’s reports to be scrutinized individually but this move has been rejected by the Chairman of the body, Jermaine Figueira.

Datadin’s motion was tabled during the PAC’s statutory meeting on Monday and seconded by fellow PPP/C Member of Parliament and Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill.
