I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 7 be amended in sub-clause (1) by- (b) deleting paragraph (f). I am proposing to delete paragraph (f) which says:- ―The Auditor-General shall give an opinion on whether the financial statements are adequate and reliable.‖ If you look at Article 229 of the Constitution what the Auditor-General is supposed to do goes beyond that. This provision may limit the functions of the Auditor- General. Secondly, what the Auditor-General does is something that is done with finality. It is not done by just giving an opinion. That is why I propose that this should be removed. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."}
