Speaker pleads for patience on convening of committees

Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir yesterday said that his office is “working hard” to convene the first meetings of the various Parliamentary Committees but there has been a delay since they are currently facing “some” challenges.

“…..We are still looking at arrangements for convening the first meeting not only of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) but all the other committees that were appointed,” Nadir told reporters yesterday.

He was at the time responding to questions following the handing over of the Auditor General’s Report for the fiscal year ended December 31st, 2019  at  Parliament.
