PESHAWAR:
Despite having the powers to intervene in the affairs of government departments and streamline them, 11 of the 36 standing committees of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly have failed to convene even a single meeting to discuss issues in the respective departments in the recently ended parliamentary year, according to sources.
They said that the performance of 11 standing committees was reported as nil because these committees showed no interest in their departments to fulfil the responsibility of oversight assigned to them.
Like past, the performance of the oversight committees was not satisfactory in the second parliamentary year ending on May 28, 2015.
