The Auditor General’s report will be laid in the House today during the 14th sitting of the National Assembly while the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) still hasn’t been convened.
Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon yesterday described this state of affairs as an attempt to derail parliamentary democracy while designated chair of the PAC, David Patterson has said the Opposition members of the PAC will skip the sitting unless a meeting is duly convened.
“The failure to address the concerns of the Opposition…is preventing transparency and accountability,” Harmon said during a video statement while Patterson has written yet another letter in which he registers disappointment that the PAC has not been convened.
