"content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also support this amendment more so on the basis of the independence of the Auditor-General. It is important to uphold separation of powers. This being a constitutional office, it is important that we get officers who are loyal to the institution. It is also important to note that at times the Auditor-General gets external resource persons in form of consultants for short-term assignments. I would want to hear from the Chairman whether that position still obtains or we will be doing away with it. As the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we support the position that where the Auditor-General may not have the right capacity and requires extra personnel who can be contracted on a short-term basis, he/she should be allowed to get such personnel. I would like to hear whether that position still obtains. Thank you."
