ISLAMABAD, Nov 20 (APP): Senate House Committee on Wednesday inquired about the issues faced by Senators at the Parliament Lodges.

The Committee which met with Deputy Chairman Senate Saleem Mandviwalla in the Chair, took serious notice of the issues and directed Capital Development Authority (CDA) staff designated at the Parliament Lodges to look into the matter.

The Committee was informed that CDA faced a dearth of funds due to which numerous issues had arisen. The Committee directed CDA to submit a utilization report, without which the Finance Department would release no funds.

Details of all work conducted at the Parliament Lodges must be submitted as well. A sub-committee was set up to address the issues of Senators. While taking up the issues of hiring of a new consultant for construction of a new block at Parliament Lodges, the Committee was informed that TORs have been formulated and a tender for hiring of the consultant would be placed next week.

The previous consultant had been disengaged. The Committee was informed that the process would be completed by December.  The Committee was requested to summon the Finance Division in the next meeting. Deliberating over the issue of high electricity bills at Parliament Lodges, the Committee was directed to check all electricity metres at the premises.

IESCO was also instructed to discourage outstanding payments beyond two months. Discussing the condition of the water filter plant at the Lodges, the Committee decided to obtain random water samples and have it checked by a private company to address health concerns of the members.

The meeting was attended by Senators Mir Muhammad Yousaf Badini, Samina Saeed, Sardar Muhammad Shafiq Tareen, Mrs. Kulsoom Parveen, Shamim Afridi, Atta-Ur-Rehman, Kesho Bai, Molvi Faiz Muhammad, Sana Jamali, Anwar Lal Dean, Gianchand, Chairman CDA and senior officers of CDA, IESCO and other concerned departments.
