Members of Parliament ganging up against the removal of commissioners and the fight between two committees over airport takeover have put House teams on the spot for allegedly overstepping their mandate.

National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Public Investment Committee (PIC) have been accused of transgressing by making recommendations “outside” their oversight mandate.
