AFC blasts gov’t over aborted public accounts meetings

Juretha Fernandes

The Alliance For Change (AFC) yesterday blasted the government over the 12 meetings of the Public Accounts Committee  (PAC) of Parliament which have been cancelled because PPP/C MPs have not turned up.

Opposition Member of Parliament, Juretha Fernandes during the AFC’s weekly press conference stated that the growing lack of accountability and oversight is more serious now than ever before in Guyana “as the government’s failure to ensure proper checks and balances in financial management is the leading cause of corruption, mismanagement of public funds and the loss of trust in government institutions.”
