The 61st Public Accounts Committee (PAC)

The 61st Public Accountants Committee (PAC) examination of the books of accounts has started and it’s actually drawing to a close. The Committee has a backlog and it is mainly due to a tradition that on election year the PAC doesn’t sit and that the PAC was also affected by the dissolution of Committees unceremoniously during the 12th Parliament.
