But even as we deal with this, remember that the position of the Auditor-General is provided for in the Constitution in Article 229. It is in sub-article 4 where the various bodies he is supposed to audit are stated. More particularly, I would like to hear comments from a number of you who will be contributing particularly on sub-article 5 and 6 of Article 229. For avoidance of doubt, sub-article 5 says the Auditor-General may audit a report on the accounts of any entity that is funded from public funds. Now, I want to hear your views on sub-article 6 which states that an audit report shall confirm whether or not public money has been applied lawfully and in an effective way. This is the Constitution and it is devoid of politics and any emotions. So, even as you address me, speak to this, whether public money has been applied. So, when you address, please, also apply your mind to that so that we know whether where we are going is in the right direction. The Chair, Public Investments Committee, whom I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
