• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what I am talking about, and we have this experience in some of the boards, APSEA is the umbrella body. It brings together engineers, lawyers, doctors, quantity surveyors and all other professionals. So, what I am saying is that if you have given, for example, lawyers a place in the Board then the nominee from APSEA cannot be a lawyer. You get it from another profession. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment by the Member for Ugenya. Performance audit, in fact, may sometimes require questioning the given policy.

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: With all due respect, it is not the same. The moment we make the Auditor- General a member of the Audit Advisory Board, he becomes the chairperson. This is not in vain. We already have precedent in the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), which is chaired by the Chief Justice. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let us not make the National Assembly a heckling House. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we are a Commonwealth nation. There are other Commonwealth countries which already have audit advisory boards like the one we are creating. India has a body similar to the one we are creating. I am sure that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee knows that the chairperson of that board in India is the Auditor-General. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I think the amendment to the Schedule was consequent upon my proposed amendment to Clause 13 being carried. Since it was defeated, that proposed amendment becomes superfluous. So I withdraw. view
