KATHMANDU: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) under the House of Representatives has directed its various sub-committees, formed at different times to investigate complaints, to submit their reports without delay.
In today’s meeting, PAC Chairperson Rishikesh Pokharel instructed all sub-committees to present their findings within one month. He emphasized the need for swift and effective investigation and urged the sub-committee coordinators to submit their reports as soon as possible.
The committee had previously formed nine sub-committees to look into the complaints. A total of 48 complaints were registered with the PAC, which were distributed among the sub-committees for investigation.
During the meeting, Chairperson Pokharel also appealed to all members to maintain decorum and discipline during committee proceedings. He stressed that members should act responsibly and contribute constructively to uphold the dignity of the committee.
The PAC plays a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability in government expenditures and administration. The timely completion of these reports is expected to support further parliamentary action on the matters under investigation.
