ISLAMABAD: While expressing its concerns over undue spending of billions of rupees out of Rs1.240 trillion economic stimulus package announced by the prime minister to shield the masses against the fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Monday sought a detailed briefing from the ministries concerned.
Presiding over the meeting, PAC chairman Rana Tanveer Hussain questioned the release of funds to majority of ministries saying the package was meant for Covid-19 related operations only since the government makes allocations for Utility Stores Corporation (USC), Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (PBM) and other departments in the budget.
