"content": "The main complaints in the past were issues of non-compliance and failure to supply documents. The Office of the Auditor-General would go to the Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) or ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) which would claim that they were not ready or would submit their reports fairly late. The amendments to the Audit Act condensed the period for submission of documents giving the Office of the Auditor-General enough time to review, prepare and submit the reports. I urge the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly, the Parliamentary Service Commission and all the relevant organs of this House to put measures into place to facilitate and adequately fund the oversight and watchdog committees, namely, the Public Accounts Committee, the various PICs, and the Special Funds Accounts Committee so that they can complete the audit process and table their reports, preferably not beyond May of the subsequent years. Otherwise, all these reports will just be for record and academic purposes."
