Sheikh Waqas Akram appointed as PAC chairman by PTI

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has officially appointed Sheikh Waqas Akram as the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). This decision comes after former Prime Minister Imran Khan initially nominated Sher Afzal Marwat for the position. The announcement of Sheikh Waqas Akram's approval was made by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

The role of the PAC chairman holds great importance as the committee is responsible for auditing the federal government's revenue and expenditure. It is worth noting that, as per the Charter of Democracy (COD), the PAC chairman is required to be from the opposition party, despite PTI not being a signatory to the charter.

In conclusion, Sheikh Waqas Akram's appointment as the PAC chairman marks a significant development in the oversight of the government's financial matters. This decision underscores the commitment to transparency and accountability in governance, as mandated by the responsibilities of the PAC.
