Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Wednesday dissolved all the PAC’s special committees and sub-committees.
He said that the PAC could not be made to accommodate the government’s necessities and agenda.
A statement issued by Mr Khan said that no special or sub committees of the PAC could hold any meetings before a proper meeting of the PAC itself.
Moreover, Mr Khan said that the government had given the position of auditor general of Pakistan to a controversial figure which laid bare the government’s intentions.
Earlier on Tuesday, the government appointed Akhter Buland Rana as the auditor general of Pakistan for a four-year term.
The Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) has opposed the appointment because it considers Mr Rana a controversial figure, saying that charges of irregularities are pending against him.
