    "content": "The ones that come from the Controller of Budget, if I go step by step, are essentially reports that, in a way, inform the Houses of how funds appropriated to various Government agencies have been utilized for the periods to which they relate. Whenever they are tabled here, they are deemed to have been committed to the relevant committees because, as you would appreciate, each would be with respect to various agencies. So, we would expect that the relevant committees of the House would sit and, indeed, prioritize them as part of their business. It is just like the way we put business here after Prayers. Go through all those things. I am sure in the committees there is no Administration of Oath, except if there are witnesses to appear before the committees to testify on oath. But I think there is need for committees to adopt this similar procedure where there will be consideration of the number of petitions or reports from the Controller of Budget. The ones from the Auditor-General come directly to your Committee and the Public Investments Committee (PIC). The point you have raised is also important. What happens to the reports from other independent offices? Whenever they are brought, most of them - and I can say this with certainty because I have done so--- If it is, for instance, from the Commission on Administration of Justice (CAJ) for example, I direct those reports to be considered by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs."
