Temporary Deputy Chairman, my amendment to Clause 72 reads as follows:- THAT, Clause 72 of the Bill be amended by— (a) inserting the words ―the national or county‖ immediately after the words ―policy objective of‖; (b) deleting the words ―or any other state organ or public entity‖ appearing immediately after the word ―government‖. I know the Members have expressed support for this amendment, but for the wrong reasons. That provision is there because a policy objective is like a campaign manifesto for every Government in place. The Auditor- General cannot say that the laptop project is a wrong policy. He can only audit the procurement and the value for money within that policy framework. This provision has always been there. You cannot question the manifesto of a Government in place."}
