He does not have to wait until we are at the end of a financial year before he gives reports. If we get these special reports in between the financial year, I believe we will have value for money, because we can intervene where there is a problem. I think that is a very good thing. Clause 59 of the same Bill again provides for a confidential reporting of an unlawful act. It provides that people can give confidential reports to the Auditor-General; using the Witness Protection Act, such people can be protected. So, I think we will be having very good and well informed reports and people will be very free to give their reports to the Auditor-General, so that he can give timely reports instead of waiting for the end of a financial year which may take long."}
