    "content": "Auditor-General; a position which has been in place for many years. We knew the Auditor- General was retiring and he had prepared himself to leave. The Head of the Public Service also knew the position was falling vacant. It is a very important position which looks at our resources. It is a position that can make many institutions, as alluded in the Report, to stop operations if we were to be strict on the requirements, especially on the submission of financial reports. As we support this request to extend the timelines, the Chairman of PIC should ask the exact timelines that are required. I have noted from the Report that there was an attempt to meet the Attorney-General and the Committee was not able to. I hope they will reach out to him to understand what is happening. They should also reach out to the Head of Public Service and the Public Service Commission. If it is the PSC that is sleeping on the job or delaying the process, I think our Committee will be interested in knowing, so that we can help in calling them to explain why they are delaying the process. I, therefore, support and hope that we will not fall into this kind of a situation again. We should not spend another afternoon discussing delays in employment. This country is in problems as far as employment is concerned and it is unfortunate we can be talking about not employing when we know we have many qualified people who are looking for jobs. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
