ISLAMABAD, Dec 20 (APP): Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, has given the government and opposition a final deadline to decide on the chairperson for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
Addressing a question during the Speaker217;s Conference, he warned that if no consensus is reached by next week, a PAC meeting will be convened, and the chairperson will be elected on the spot.
Sardar Ayaz Sadiq reminded both sides that it is a parliamentary tradition for the PAC chairmanship to go to the opposition, though the final decision requires agreement between the government and opposition.
He expressed frustration over the PAC217;s inactivity, stating that numerous important matters are stalled as a result.
“If no decision is made by next week, I will call a PAC meeting, and the chairperson will be elected in line with the meeting217;s proceedings,” the Speaker declared, urging immediate resolution to avoid further delays.
