    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report on Mediation between the National Assembly and the Senate. First and foremost, I would like to commend the good work that has been done by Members of the mediation team. They have, very quickly, come up with a compromised position and enabled us to have this Bill tabled today. Hon. Speaker, I would like to mention a few things: One is on qualification of the Auditor-General. I think the disparity was on the level of qualification required. I would like to propose that nobody should be discriminated from holding any position in as far as they are capable of doing the work. So, by putting the ceiling or the minimum requirement to be a first degree in Finance, Accounting and other relevant disciplines, to me, is acceptable. I would like to commend the Committee for agreeing with that. However, I would like to comment that it is also important for us to encourage people who have attained higher degrees and higher levels of education to get priorities in serving positions. I do not see any problem in raising the bar a bit higher to a postgraduate degree. I think in future, we may be forced to relook at this because,"
