The chair of the Communications sub-committee of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) Eric Keyman Defor said their engagement with Parliament should not end after their submission of report to Parliament.
According to him beyond submission of their report, there should be an open door policy where the engagement should be continuously done.
“So that if Parliament has an issue that they are not clear about there should be that level of engagement to enable PIAC inform them on, why we made the recommendations that we made. The law mandates us to collate data from all relevant stakeholders and duty bearers and put them into a report”, he stated.
He further added that, the report is submitted to Parliament and the Executive for the necessary action to be taken once that is done, they expect Parliament to invite them regularly. “They do once a while for clarification but beyond that, the responsibility is on parliament entirely as to what they do with our report and recommendations”.
Mr. Defor made this known in an interview with Ghanamps.com when PIAC and GIZ organize a workshop over the week for journalists to interrogate their semi-annual report at Koforidua.
