(Kaieteur News) – Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) Member of Parliament (MP) Vishnu Panday has expressed concern over the committee’s inability to begin its work, lamenting what he described as the deliberate delay in reviewing nearly six years of Auditor General’s reports.

Speaking on Sunday’s episode of “Sources,” Panday said the committee is now faced with an almost six-year backlog of auditor general’s reports, pointing out that the pace of the PAC’s work makes clearing the backlog a big challenge.

His main concern, he explained, is that the committee typically takes an entire year to examine a single auditor general’s report and compile its own report before presenting it to the National Assembly.
