The government auditor, Comptroller and Auditor General on Wednesday sought more powers for the constitutional body and said the common man has all the right to know how his tax money is being spent. "The legislature votes the Budget. The Budget is passed on to the executive, which implements it and expends that money. Whether that money has been expended, where it was meant to be and since that money has been compulsorily taken away from our pockets through taxation, I think the man on the street deserves to know that if it was expended for the best possible objectives and also most efficiently done," Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai said.
