    "content": "THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Public Accounts Committee on its examination of the Report of the Auditor General on the Financial Statements for the National Government for the Financial Year 2015/2016, laid on the Table of House on Tuesday, 23rd April 2019. This is one such moment that I was looking forward to. In a span of not more than four months, the PAC, which I am privileged to chair, is submitting to this House a Report on the Examination of the Report of the Auditor-General on financial statements of the national Government. You will recall that in November 2018, the PAC tabled a Report on the financial statements for the Financial Year 2014/2015, which was eventually adopted by the House with minor amendments. Therefore, this Report, coming just about four months after that other Report, is a demonstration of the fact that PAC, that I chair, is more than equal to the task that has been placed before it. It is important to point out that PAC does not just act in vain. You will no doubt note that the equitable share of the national revenue between the two levels of Government is dependent upon the latest audited financial statements of the national Government adopted by this House. Therefore, the tabling of this Report, and hopefully its eventual adoption by the House, is going to make another milestone in the short history of the PAC of the 12th Parliament. True to our tradition as PAC, we have diligently examined the Report of the Auditor- General with regard to various ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), constitutional commissions and independent offices for the Financial Year 2015/2016. We have accordingly come up with various findings and observations in respect of each of those agencies."
