    "content": " If you go to the Report, there are two recommendations. The second recommendation remains because the matter is still under investigation by EACC. We are not doing away with the EACC. When it comes to the issue of retention of funds and the issue of a road that was made, there is need to ensure… just like Hon. Junet has requested, within three months there should be a clarification and a further audit. In the case of roads, the auditors must be shown the road. If it is the case of retention of funds, these funds are usually retained once a contractor completes the road. That is the time that amount of money is retained. It is a technical issue. The Committee has done a very good job. This Report is great but in the event you need to further clarify, this matter is still within the reach of this House, whoever is culpable or liable, will not escape from it. That is the spirit under which I brought this amendment such that within three months, the roads will be shown and their completion will be re-inspected and a report will be brought to this House. If the road was done and it exists, then there is no need to… Further, the amendment on page 457 is my second amendment which is a deletion. In that amendment we are asking the Auditor General to countercheck within three months. On the recommendations, EACC is still on record. So, we are not removing EACC at all. We are also not removing this House from managing this matter. We are just saying that this Committee should be provided with further information showing on the basis of engineering whether the road was done or not. On retention, they should be told whether it was released at the right time after all the engineering quotations have been qualified. I beg to move and ask Hon. Ichung’wah to second."
