    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, as I support this amendment, there were reservations that were raised regarding this particular Clause even in the mediation process. We raised certain reservations regarding the independence of the Auditor- General’s Office. The import and objection was as to whether the Auditor-General’s Office is being interfered with to the extent that the independence of the Auditor-General is threatened. However, in terms of an address through the Constitution, the feeling of the proposed amendment was that the Auditor-General’s office was not being reduced. Instead, the idea was that the two offices; both the Auditor-General’s office and the Public Service Commission be working together in terms of the staffing of the office of the Auditor-General. To that extent, it is necessary – as we pass this amendment through regulation – to ensure that the Auditor-General’s office remains independent. I beg to support."
