    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to Articles 22, 26 and 229 of our Constitution, within six months after the end of each financial year, all accounts of Government and State organs are supposed to be audited by the Auditor-General. Article 226(4) specifically provides that the accounts of the Auditor-General shall be audited and reported on by a professionally qualified accountant appointed by the National Assembly. Whereas we know that the Auditor–General is currently auditing the other accounts of State organs and the Government, on the Accounts of the Office of the Auditor-General, this Parliament has not initiated the procedure of appointing such a professionally competent accountant so that this provision of audit within six months is complied with. Could the Leader of Government business confirm to us if we go on Recess this requirement of the Constitution will be met so that the Office of the Controller and auditor General will be audited in accordance with the law?"
