apparently, this is with a view to reduce importance of the C&AG. Butt this is very bizarre and funny suggestion. C & G is a constitutional authority and is head of audit department. There is very huge body of officers of Indian audit and accounts Service (I.A.A.S), an all India service. He submits his report prepared not by himself by by his department. C& A G is a designation (Comptroller & auditor General). Election commission was made multi member organization. But C&AG is not a commission like Election commission. If such ridiculous plea is accepted, the offices of President of India, Secretaries of various ministries, all heads of department will have to be multi member offices.
It is also worth mention that report of C&AG is not final. This is only a report that needs approval by Public accounts committee. which is multi member. Does this not suffice. The notion of multi member at every stage will cripple functions of the entire system and this will in fact mean anarchy of the worst type. suggestion of anarchy type from ruling quarters are very dangerous.

The government wants that C& AG should become a toothless cobra. Its intentions are very clear and loud.
Now the concerned minister has stated that there is no move to make C&AG multi member. So, the issue is resolved. In fact, C&AG is just an audit authority. His only authority is to report. His report is presented before PAC (Public Accounts committee) for approval and action.
Government has many work to do. Keeping aside all necessary work, they are wasting time in useless affairs. This will help no one but make all procedure confusing. General public will be harassed unnecessarily.
Amid a battle of words between the ruling Congress leaders and the CAG over the latter's functioning and independence, a news agency reported quoted Narayanasamy saying that the government is actively considering to make CAG a multi-member body.
