PAC Changes Taken To House

And while Briceno says that law may have to change, his government is changing a big one with the adjustment of the standing orders of the house of representatives.

It's a change to reform and re-constitute the Public Accounts Committee. The government will surrender majority control of this important House committee that is supposed to provide transparency in public spending.

The committee's membership will increase from 6 to 9, by adding 3 social partner senators to the PAC. With the change, the majority will be non government members, two from the opposition and three from the social partners.

Here's more from the instruction today:

The UDP's Tracy Taegar-Panton, will chair the PAC.
