    "content": " On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek your guidance on this matter, particularly in relation to the existing procedures where public money is accounted for. Given that the Treasury appoints Accounting Officers, who then become directly responsible to this House in terms of expending what has been allocated to them, and that the action by Parliament is guided by Report of the Controller and Auditor-General, is it clear – and it is not to me – that responsibility must be placed where it belongs? Accounting Officers by law are responsible and the Treasury will Act on the Report of the Controller and Auditor-General in requiring the Accounting Officer to explain. Here, there are two things which are not very clear to me. During any financial year, the Controller and Auditor-General always carries out what is now being called forensic audit of every Ministry. Is it intended that this work should be duplicated? I am not clear about this matter."
