Imran Khan's initial choice for PAC chairman in Pakistan was replaced by Sheikh Waqas Akram, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency in government financial matters.

Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, initially selected Marwat as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman. However, following criticism from the party leadership, Marwat's nomination was withdrawn. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) then appointed Sheikh Waqas Akram to replace Marwat in this crucial role.

The PAC is a significant parliamentary committee responsible for overseeing government expenditures and ensuring transparency in financial matters. The chairman plays a key role in holding the government accountable for its financial decisions and actions.

Sheikh Waqas Akram, the newly appointed PAC chairman, is expected to bring his expertise and leadership to the role. His appointment comes at a critical time when Pakistan is facing economic challenges and requires diligent oversight of public funds.

The change in leadership within the PAC highlights the importance of accountability and transparency in government operations. It is essential for officials in key positions to uphold these principles to ensure the efficient and responsible use of public resources.
