Government’s Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira, has once again dismissed the opposition’s claims that her side of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is attempting to stymie the work of the body following their absence on Monday last.
Speaking with Stabroek News, Teixeira said that the accusation that her side of the committee is trying to stall the work of the PAC, is one the opposition uses of their free will. Last Monday, she informed, she was in back-to-back meetings, making it impossible for her to attend the scheduled PAC session. She, however, noted that all five members from her side submitted excuses for not being able to attend the sitting due to other commitments.
