    "content": "It is also important to note that for that office to function effectively, it needs to be resourced adequately. That office requires to be provided with adequate budgetary resources for it to undertake its mandate in an effective and efficient manner. It is for that reason that in the report of the PAC for the Financial Year 2017/2018, the Committee recommended, and this House agreed with it because that Report was approved by this House and adopted in totality, I think in March last year. The Committee recommended that in future when it comes to the matter of budgeting for the Office of the Auditor-General, the PAC must be involved from the very beginning to the end. Even as the relevant committees including the Budget and Appropriations Committee, undertake their normal work in terms of budget preparations and approval, when it comes to the budget for the Office of the Auditor-General, PAC must be involved for obvious reason. This is because PAC has the nexus between this House and the Office of the Auditor-General and PAC understands better the functioning and the challenges of that office."
