PAC to have public hearings starting 2012

Goya told a press briefing at Parliamentary Buildings that this is part of the committee's action plan following their participation in the just-ended eighth annual conference and annual general meeting of Southern African Development Community Organisation of Public Accounts Committees (SADCOPAC).

The SADCOPAC conference was held at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe between November 14-18. The decision to conduct committee hearings in public also comes after an amendment of parliamentary Standing Orders and is also expected to enhance transparency in the handling of public expenditure and funds.
