Public Accounts Committee (PAC) member Gail Teixeira has raised objections to the PAC considering the 2019 and 2020 Auditor General reports simultaneously but Chairman of the Committee, Jermaine Figueira has dismissed the concerns saying that they are “merely political in nature.”
Teixeira in correspondence to Figueira argued that 2019 and 2020 constitute a period when the David Granger-led administration was functioning as a caretaker government and expenditure should be carefully scrutinized. A motion of no confidence had been passed against the Granger administration in December of 2018.
In the letter seen by this newspaper, Teixeira said members of the government had expressed views against the move to look at both reports simultaneously.
