On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I wish to thank Hon. Keynan for that withdrawal. Even as it does that, I want to concur with what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. More fundamentally, I would like to say this as an accountant, someone who has been audited and has been involved in the audit processes. I can see my colleague, Hon. Mwadeghu, CPA, shaking his head from the other side. There are certain fundamental errors, be they procedural, abuse of office or whatever that could emanate from the Report that the Chair tabled yesterday. Hon. Speaker, ...

Thank you for that protection. I was drawing your attention to Article 226(4) of the Constitution which clearly stipulates the work of appointing an auditor. The Leader of the Majority Party has alluded to the fact that, that auditor probably could even have been appointed and contracted to do this work. The Constitution is very clear that this is a mandate solely of the National Assembly. I think the drafters of the Constitution are very clear. It was drafted and put in print that a qualified accountant will be appointed by the National Assembly and not Parliament. Hon. Keynan sits ...

organization that you are expected to audit. There has been gross misconduct and professional misconduct by the audit firm that now purports to be given this work. This is because they were given work to go and audit the Office of the Auditor-General. Around the same time, they went and got consultancies in the same office. Therefore, it would actually be an abuse to this House for Hon. Keynan and the Commission to be asking us to come and rubberstamp a process where one, we are contravening the Constitution, and two, we are rubberstamping a process where there has been ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you rightly pointed out, many hon. Members might be out there with other business given that we are in the run-up to the general elections. However, your sentiments are quite in order because we have many Committees with pending reports. We also have the issue of quorum at this time of the year. In closing this debate, let me also take this opportunity to thank the Members of the PIC, especially those who were here yesterday afternoon and in the early parts of yesterday evening for their contributions to this Motion. I do not need ...

We would like the DPP, the DCI and the EACC to consider the proposal that we discussed at that time with regard to seconding officers to PIC and PAC. Hon. Speaker, you realise the challenges that we have as a Committee. As much as we analyse all the audit reports that come to the two Committees, as Committees we have no powers to prosecute or do anything beyond making the recommendations that we bring to this House through these reports for debate and adoption. I must thank the Office of the DPP. Yesterday I mentioned the case of the Youth ...
