Attendance at meetings is also much lower. Only three out of ten members of the parliamentary commission were present at Sunday’s meeting. The quorum is only if there are three members on the parliamentary commission. Previously, the meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Public Accounts concluded in just 20 minutes.
As most of the members of this committee are elders, the meeting hastily concluded for fear of being attacked by Karona.
