• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, is the Chairman of the Departmental Committee in order to say something at one point and flop right onto the other side the next moment? He said that they did not want to subject the Auditor- General to the whims of the Public Service Commission (PSC) but now, he wants to create a selection panel comprising of representatives of those organs. Are we not getting into the same situation? The Auditor-General will be auditing those organisations. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if the initial amendment has not gone through and this other amendment goes through, it will make the whole Article unworkable.

We should never and have never had that kind of a situation where an Auditor-General is acting for one year. This is mischief. An Auditor-General will be removed ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. I have realized that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), of course, is the one that determines remuneration. The Auditor-General‘s Office needs to be looked at on remunerative terms more favourably, considering that now we have given him freedom to hire the best that he can get.
