PN reiterates plan to put forward amendments to Public Administration Act during committee stage

The PN has reiterated its plans to put forward amendments for the Public Administration Act during the committee stage.

The PN said that the proposed bill, as is, does not include effective scrutiny as there is no obligation for hearings to occur in Parliament. The PN says that as things stand, the bill proposes that questions have to be sent in writing where the minister serves as a messenger between the nominee and Parliament.

The Opposition insists that hearings be effective and occur face-to-face with the nominee, and that posts like the police commissioner and Attorney General be subject to the same kind of scrutiny.
