    "content": "At this point, it is equally important that the next Auditor-General was going to be picked. I am assuming, considering that this House is going on recess unless of course you rule otherwise. If this process is not going to be finalised by next week, we are going to have a serious dilemma because this country is not going to have any audit reports at all. The next person in line, if that person is not going to be someone who has served in the Office of the Auditor-General, will merely be appending signatures without going through all those audit reports. There is danger and we are hoping those who are in charge out of those who were invited …We invited the CBK but it failed to attend. It is a fact that you gave a deadline to present this report. Ideally, PIC would not wish to take written submissions but as per your earlier rulings that audit committees like ourselves need to ensure that we see the author of those particular requests, we tried to inform the Cabinet Secretary. We heard through the grapevine that there was a Cabinet meeting even though that information was not conveyed to Parliament in official capacity. We wanted to find out whether the CBK or the National Treasury had sought for advice from the Attorney–General’s Office. We invited the Attorney-General as well. They wrote back informing us that there was a Cabinet meeting. The Solicitor-General was in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs in Parliament on earlier invitation. We also chose to invite the Chair of the select committee nominated by the President to come up with the names. Unfortunately, the Chairperson and his members failed to attend. We cannot substantively state whether the Auditor-General’s names have already been presented or not to the President for onward forwarding to Parliament."
