"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am very happy that the Office of the Auditor-General has been adequately funded before, and even this time. Number one, what we would like to see is not just the implementation of the audit reports, but a situation where if the Auditor-General confirms, through the various reports, the amounts of money we have lost in any financial year, such amounts should be removed from the entire Budget. We have budgets moving from two trillion to three trillion to four trillion and it continues moving and yet, year by year, we know about a trillion that is being stolen. Why do we not use those reports by those audit agencies to reduce the Budget so that we reduce the range that is being corrupted? Number three, we request the Auditor-General, now that we have fought and Parliament has adequately funded them this financial year, that we do not want corrupt practices within the Audit Office itself. For example, the audit of National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) …."

How do you move around with the person you are auditing? We need reforms in this area. This Budget also needs to be properly applied. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman."

What the Auditor-General has said is that this House has let her down because she comes up with very clear recommendations, but we never take them on board. Our Chairman should accept that we have not been doing it. From this financial year to the next one, we must first get the audit reports to our table. If you have misused public resources, we reduce your budget by the same amount. That way, we will help the country."

There is no single report from the Public Accounts Committee that has recommended that we reduce the Budget. You cannot just wake up, as the Budget and Appropriations Committee, and reduce the Budget. The Budget and Appropriations Committee cannot just wake up one day and reduce the allocation to the Office of the Auditor-General. The onus is on the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to take on those reports, follow through on them and table them before the House. The Budget and Appropriations Committee cannot reduce the allocation to the Office of the Auditor-General without a report from PAC."
