The chairman of PAC has also expressed concerns over the behavour of some goverment officials.

“It is adisservice to President Bio when people don’t do their work [at all ], ” Hon. Tawas says.

“If I were the president, I will continue to sack people and will pursue them for what they’ve failed to do,” he said.
