What a Shock! When “Party People” stop being Party People

At the risk of sounding overly generous, let us begin by commending the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for its continued commitment to public accountability. In a country where many proceedings could comfortably disappear behind closed doors, PAC has chosen the noble path of transparency—broadcasting its sittings for all Ghanaians to see, hear, and, most importantly, interpret. It is, in theory, democracy at work: public officials answering public questions in the full glare of public scrutiny.
