    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No. 83. We have just been reading from the public domain that the Auditor-General is claiming that he cannot appear before any of the committees of this House. Will I be in order to ask you whether the Auditor-General is in order to intimidate Parliament when he knows Article 95 of the Constitution gives us the role to oversee anybody? I do not want to say “goats”, but any living being with knowledge and who can speak like we do. The Auditor-General is a creature of this House. He did not employ himself. We approved him in this House. I may not have been there, but he cannot pretend that he just landed in his office from the moon. Hon. Speaker, he is in breach of the Leadership and Integrity Act which requires him to respect other State officers. I am a State officer. For you to go and abuse me outside there, you are clearly in breach of the law. You can even be removed from office on the basis of lack of respect to other State officers. If he does not know the law, let him come and consult me. But let him not speak out of ignorance of the law."
