The National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) holds a press conference at Transformation Resource Centre (TRC) hall to inform the public about the temporary suspension of the committee sessions in parliament. The issue came as a result from the parliament deputy speaker’s ruling that committees should stop using parliament chambers as from the 15th May 2018. Unfortunately, the committees are unable to utilize the committee rooms because of their inadequate facilities for the PAC to effectively execute its mandate. Another challenge is that the Master of the High Court personnel have presented the PAC with an urgent court order. The concerned staff were summoned by the committee and given 21 days to reappear before the committee on the 16th May 2018 for further questioning and presentation of relevant documents to support their arguments. The implicated employees desire the court to protect them from further interrogations and that the previous evidence should be disregarded.
