    "content": "I heard the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee speak about the fact that 47 of the Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) have been denied monies so as to avoid duplication of functions. That money has been reallocated to reduce duplication of roles that has been happening in this country. I agree with the reasoning. We need to centralise some of these functions so that they are domiciled in one place. It does not make sense to have an auditor for each and every department in the national government. Ideally, we should have one audit committee undertaking audit of all Government departments, like it happens in the private sector. You will never find, for example, in a bank the department of trade or retail banking or wholesale banking having their own auditor. They only have one audit department that serves all the departments. That is one of the ways we can save money."
