Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. I wish the Chair could have exactly quoted the specific Act. You know the NEMA Act talks of all environmental issues.

Can you, maybe, just quote a part of the Act if you have it?

In this country, people have been appointed to offices even without applying for the jobs. We have a number of them.

If they have to continue with the procedure of appointing the new Auditor General, they should stick to the list of candidates that they had shortlisted and published, so that the best candidate is picked from the shortlist and not brought through the back door. That is my concern. I support the amendments. Let us have the specific timelines of the extension, so that the CBK can submit its audited Report of the 2018/2019 ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Last week, I raised an issue concerning the questions I had asked almost four months ago without any response, and you directed that the Leader of the Majority Party would be providing the response today. Up to date, I have not heard anything from the Leader of the Majority Party or the Ministry.
