A parliamentary committee wants action taken against principal secretaries and parastatal chiefs accused of wasting public resources.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC), in its report tabled at the National Assembly yesterday, directed the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to probe and punish those found to have mismanaged public funds.
