In that amendment, I had clearly said that the President shall nominate a person to be appointed as the Auditor-General and forward the name for approval by the National Assembly as provided for under Article 229(1) of the Constitution. The selection panel and the idea of trying to introduce a chair to the selection panel are not necessary. Therefore, we should completely do away with the selection panel."}
