    "content": "Clause 7 talks about special reports. This is important for the functioning of this Assembly and especially for the watchdog committees, namely, the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Parliament may request that office to make special reports to whoever asks for the same. In the last three or four months, reality has hit this country and now we have a lull. I am sure in the next one or two months, another thing will come up. Eurobond questions have not been answered. It was very interesting to hear the current Controller of Budget saying that she was not summoned to State House, but was just called for consultations and had not discussed the Eurobond issue with the President. If this country borrows money from whatever source, that money must be brought into a Consolidated Fund and be subject to approvals on its withdrawals by the Controller of Budget. As we pass this Bill, we ask the Controller of Budget to ensure that the independence required of her office is maintained and she acts based on that independence. I support this very important Bill."
