    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, the Auditor- General works for this House. When they appeared before us, they also complained that this House amends their audit reports. They indicated that, sometimes, they bring stinging reports, but we end up amending them. In my opinion, the blame game is on both sides. In terms of their budget, we have finally given them the one-line budget which they have been asking for. As you can see in the Estimates, there is only one vote. I would like to urge this House to take their audit reports very seriously because the Auditor-General has some reports that touch on the House itself. We asked the Auditor-General to come and audit the House because even Parliament needs to be audited. The Auditor-General is very independent. Personally, from the presentation she has made to us as Budget and Appropriations Committee, I trust her reports. She is doing a very good job. I would like to ask the Public Accounts Committee to stop interfering with the audit reports they get from the Auditor-General. You cannot ask the Auditor-General to prosecute culprits. That is the work of the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman."
