Opposition Leader in National Assembly Omar Ayub Recommended Akbar’s Name
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Member of National Assembly (MNA) Junaid Akbar has been elected as the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), a post that had been vacant since the government assumed power after the February 2024 elections.
The Public Accounts Committee is considered one of the most powerful parliamentary bodies, with the authority to summon any individual or record from government departments regarding financial matters.
As per parliamentary traditions established after the 2008 general elections, the chairmanship of the PAC has been assigned to the opposition, a practice that has continued since then.
