Temporary Deputy Chairman, as I reported to the House earlier, my Committee considered the Senate amendment to Clause 5, paragraph (c). I urge the House to reject the amendment because accepting it would mean that in order for one to become the Auditor-General, one should have a minimum qualification of a Master’s Degree. The standard practice has been a minimum qualification of a first degree. Other qualifications become added advantage for a candidate. If we adopt the Senate’s amendment on this clause, we will be excluding many people from seeking to serve as Auditor-General, and it would be unfair."}
