We must do what the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has failed to do to save this country. It is so messy, but this House has a responsibility. Clause 9 of the proposal is not right. It states that the national Government should recommend to the Auditor-General how to do his job. That will take away the independence of the Auditor-General. That must be deleted because it does not belong here. He must be allowed to independently do his work. Two years ago, I said that we should have a devolved fully- fledged Office of the Controller of Budget, Auditor-General and the AG in the counties, so that we can deal with instant auditing. If the Office of the Controller of Budget works with the Auditor-General before the occurrence of corruption, I think we can deal and slay the dragon of corruption. I know we are all concerned."}
