    "content": "The Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005 which streamlined public procurement has been flouted with impunity. This Parliament and its committees have spent a lot of public money going out there to benchmark. When we come back with the best practices, they are not implemented. The Auditor-General’s Office must become part of this Parliament. Its budget must be part of this Parliament because most of the reports we consume from the Auditor- General are what facilitates our work. So, if the Auditor-General’s work is still going to be hampered by being lumped together either with the ministry or the National Treasury, we are not going to achieve much. This is because the best practices in countries where we have benchmarked are that the Auditor-General must be part and parcel of Parliament so that the watchdog committees can work effectively."
