Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairperson, Dithapelo Keorapetse has been granted permission to hold his committee meetings. PAC has a backlog of two years since 2018/19 and 2019/2020 without holding office.

In a letter written June 2, 2020 addressed to the Speaker of National Assembly, Keorapetse said; “That PAC has a backlog of two years of unexamined books of accounts of government, that is financial years 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. That the Committee had agreed, in one of its meetings, for a two-day training and commencement of its sessions to clear the backlog and that everything was disrupted by COVID-19 pandemic”.

He also said lockdown restrictions have since been relaxed with government offices opened and that given the size of this Committee, a meeting can be convened and hearings be conducted.
