The Chief Minister says he has written to the Speaker of Parliament giving notice of his intention to move a motion regarding the “accuracy and reliability” of the Principal Auditor’s Report at the next meeting of Parliament. 

A statement from the Government follows below:

The motion proposes that the Report fails in both its form and substance to conform to the standards of independence and objectivity that are both expected and required. It further moves that the House considers the material errors of the Report that reflect a lack of competence on the part of its author, and the politically biased manner of its presentation that further illustrate a failure of independence and objectivity. 

The motion calls on the House to conclude that the Report’s clear bias significantly and completely compromises its accuracy and reliability, and to reject it as not being in keeping with the rigour, objectivity and independence required Constitutionally from a Principal Auditor's Report.
