    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be brief. The amendment says: “The Accounting Officer during the year under review.” The amendment is specific, instead of naming names. That is because you may place liability on a Principal Secretary who may not be liable. The amendment is requesting that the accounting officer during the year under review be held responsible. It means from records, Parliament would be able to know exactly which Principal Secretary is responsible. Therefore, I beg to second and urge Members to support this. The Committee has done a very good job. Having done a very good job, there are matters which may be clerical and may escape attention. That is why we have an opportunity with amendments to clarify them. No one is escaping liability but the amendment is saying the accounting officer during the year under review so that it is clear. I thank you and second."
