-in wake of over 40 meetings being cancelled because of
absence of gov’t MPs
Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, Gail Teixeira yesterday defended the performance of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and argued that while government agencies are being reviewed and are guided by the Auditor General’s reports for the period under which the APNU+AFC was in office, attention must be paid to the number of violations committed.
In a press statement yesterday, the minister, who is a member of the PAC, stated that there were several violations of the Procurement Act, missing documents, and the refusal or non-cooperation of former Permanent Secretaries and Regional Executive Officers to appear before the committee when the David Granger government was in office.
