The saga which among others pends PAC Meetings until clear direction is made by judicially risks the investigation of public money plunders inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParliament respects the court order as it still recognizing Namalomba as PAC Chairperson. In fact he has been assigned to work on Monrovia ,Liberia on 31 November where he will represent the country as a Chair soon after returning from African Organization of public accounts committee (AFROPAC) which was held in Pretoria\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She said Parliament is failing to dissolve the current PAC in fear of disturbing all the committees. \u201cThe public may wish to note that a number of committees are already working on number of issues of National interest to avoid duplication of efforts Parliament is consolidating all these matters to ensure coordination of matters,\u201d argues Hara.
