The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has decided that its first order of business will be to complete the examination of the Auditor General’s Report for the fiscal year 2016 and decide on the process of selection for the members of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC).
“On Monday at 10 am we will be examining three agencies in the 2016 report and looking at a few other issues such as the PPC,” PAC Chair David Patterson told Stabroek News yesterday. Patterson explained that agencies which will be examined will be the Guyana Defence Force, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and noted that so far a decision has been made to complete deliberations on the 2016 report rather than consider agencies across various years.
“Maybe from 2017 forward we can look at agencies across the years so that the PAC is examining current issues but for now this is what we have decided,” he said.
