    "content": "The job that has been done by the PAC is excellent! If you can see the record of these hon. Members, you will actually conclude that if they are not ranked number one, they are number two in this Parliament, if there is anything to do with ranking. I am saying that because they have held about 100 meetings and in these meetings, they have had to ask a lot of questions and study some reports. They have done a lot in the process and if we continue like that, we are going to save this country a lot of money which looters are actually trying to take. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have had several major scandals in this country, but if the PAC, the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and other watchdog Committees do their work properly and very serious people are actually put in these Committees, this country is going to save a lot of money which is going to very, very greedy hands. This is a very rich country. We have a lot of resources; we have a lot of income – we are generating a lot of money in this country. But, unfortunately, this money goes into the wrong hands. Most of the officers who are put in charge of these finances are corrupt. I do not want to name anybody. In the PAC, we have seen that this country is very rich and if we are very firm in our scrutiny and in taking care of these resources, the country shall advance to the level of developed countries. We should not be an under-developed or even developing country. We should be in the higher positions as far as development is concerned. With those few points that I have just raised, I wish to point out that I am supporting this very important Report of the Public Accounts Committee. Thank you."
