The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament was yesterday forced to abort another meeting after three government members tendered excuses and two did not show up.
This is the ninth PAC meeting to be aborted under similar circumstances since a quorum change. The other PAC meeting cancellations occurred on May 23rd, 2022 [mere weeks after a change to the previous quorum was adopted], while the other cancellations were on July 11, 18 and 25, November 21 and 28th, December 12th 2022, and February 6th 2023.
The Chairman of the PAC, Jermaine Figueira, has reiterated APNU+AFC’s opposition to the present quorum.
