Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 13 be amended by deleting the words ―Chief Justice‖ and substituting therefor the word ―President‖. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I believe that constitutional principles ought not to be what we call ‗sinusoidal‘ in engineering. The current Auditor-General was sworn in before the President. I witnessed it. In any case, the Office of the Auditor- General is a very special one. He or she reports to Parliament. It is a small amendment where I propose that instead of being sworn in before the Chief Justice, we continue with the tradition under this current Constitution of swearing in the Auditor-General before the President. The current Auditor-General was sworn in before the President."}
