Faber is one of four government representatives on the Public Accounts Committee - a committee of the house of Representatives.

The Public Accounts Committee is considered to be an important feature in ensuring proper management of public funds.

But it is inactive, and that's why the Chamber has written to both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Oppositions to ask them to ensure that their members attend the next meeting which is scheduled for Novmeber 12th.

The request is necessary because the Public Accounts Committee is the only one chaired by opposition members - in this case Julius Espat - but has a majority of members from the government side.

And perhaps not so strangely, there's never enough of those members from the government side to achieve quorum, so meetings are very rarely held.

We today sent text messages to three UDP members of the Committee who are in the country to ask if they will attend.

Only one of them, Michael Finnegan called us back. He said that once he is alive and healthy he will attend the meeting but added that the Chamber is behaving quote, "like this committee is a miracle committee where we will just go there and perform miracles - but that's not how it works," end quote.
