Rwanda: Parliament Set to Create Public Accounts Watchdog

By Berna Namata of The New Times (Kigali)

"The National Parliament is planning to establish a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) before the end of this year.

The decision was made by the Lower House of Parliament to harmonize the system with the other East African Community (EAC) member states and will take effect after Parliamentary elections slated for September.

"After several decades of misrule, war and Genocide, Rwanda has endeavoured to carry out major legal and institutional reforms to enhance good governance. This included the establishment of the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) for effectiveness and efficiency," said Constance Mukayuhi Rwaka, a member of parliament."
