    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the spirit of the amendment on (1) is so that we protect the independence of the Auditor-General. When we say the Auditor- General, it includes the members of staff. In the previous clauses, the Auditor-General, in our amendments, has been given authority to vet the officers that will work with him. To provide a second tire vetting process by the person who is being audited is to say that one security organ will pick Mutula, Kamau or another person whom they like to go and audit them. It is like choosing the judge in a court case. Therefore, it is unconstitutional in every sense of the word. It is my proposal that we must delete this because we will then again, in legal terms, claw back on the authority of the Auditor-General. We must give him the mandate to send you to go there because he is satisfied that you have the qualifications to vet and audit that security agent. Giving them the mandate to choose is to say that at some point, this Auditor-General does not have qualified officers to audit us. It cannot work."
