MCCs Mostly MIA

Abstract

This infographic delved into how frequently Ministerial Consultative Committees (MCCs) have met between November 2020 and August 2023. Parliamentary Standing Order 112 (6) requires MCCs to meet ‘at least once a month’, to discuss and report on issues referred to them by the Parliament. However, it was found that during the 9th parliament, none of the 29 MCCs have met this requirement (= MIA - Missing In Action). Considering this, VR's Manthri Team analysed the percentage of those meetings that were actually held by each MCC, including ones with the highest and lowest percentage of the required meetings.
