Meeting postponed without key officials

The committee expressed concern over the non-submission of required compliance reports and incomplete information provided by the ministry. Officials directed the Ministry to submit all outstanding compliances and verified responses before the next session.

Committee seeks better coordination

Members emphasized improved communication to facilitate meaningful deliberations and effective parliamentary oversight during future gatherings. The group also noted that PWD employees in the Surplus Pool should be considered for adjustment against available positions in PIDAMA.

New hiring needs more time

The committee observed that inducting new employees would require additional time for orientation and familiarization with duties. This observation applies to the recruitment process while existing staff adjustments are prioritized.
