Objects and Reasons

The objects and reasons of this Bill are to make provision to the effect that when upon the lapse of the term of office of the Auditor General or of the Deputy Auditor General in the absence of a resolution or of its approval by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of all the members of the House of Representatives for the appointment of an Auditor General or Deputy Auditor General, the persons currently holding those offices shall remain in office until an Auditor General or Deputy Auditor General is appointed, as the case may be. This is in line with the procedure applicable to other Constitutional offices which require a vote in favour of two-thirds (2/3) of all the members of the House.
