MPs earned millions in sitting allowances to come up with reports whose key recommendations were never implemented by the Executive.

A scrutiny of various reports indicate key committees, such as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Public Investments Committee (PIC), developed recommendations that never saw the light of day, yet members walked home with fat perks after spending days in committee rooms and posh hotels writing the reports.
