New JPAC Members Named in Senate Push for Accountability

There’s a renewed push for transparency and accountability in government spending. In the upper house, Government Senator Eamon Courtenay moved a motion to finalize the makeup of the Joint Public Accounts Committee, or JPAC. The committee, which plays a key role in overseeing how public funds are used, will now include nine members: six from the House of Representatives and three from the Senate’s social partner senators. On the House side, names like Julius Espat, Kareem Musa, Dolores Balderamos-Garcia and Godwin Haylock are on the list. And now, the Senate has nominated Senators Kevin Herrera, Glenfield Dennison, and Janelle Chanona to round out the team.

It’s a significant move toward keeping government spending in check and making sure every tax dollar counts.
