00:00Former Independent Senator Ramesh Diyosaran is calling for action to be taken in light of the issues highlighted in the Auditor General's report.
00:30Diyosaran notes with further concern that the country's primary financial regulator is right in the middle of a proverbial mess.
01:00The central bank is behaving almost unconstitutional, and it raises the question of resignation, it raises the question of kicking matters to court judicial review, but a central bank governor should not behave so.
01:17There are different levels you can deal with a fairly and freely elected government, informally, formally, private, but that resistance in the public mind, especially with the amount of missing money on a counted form, telling the public it's a computer glitch, that raises another issue.
01:37Who is in charge of the computers? Did you check it before?
01:40The former senator suggests that the president could play a role in averting some of these dilemmas moving forward.
01:48How, Professor, do we divorce the politics and the politician from independent organizations?
01:58That's a front-line question.
02:01My general suggestion is that the prime minister, she's supposed whoever is prime minister, to meet the president frequently.
02:14I think she should have a meeting with the president of the republic, outline the challenges she faced constitutionally, especially,
02:23and see what role the president can play in this disturbing scenario.
