WOTC - Appointment of auditor general

I asked this question in the Wisdom of the Crowd:

Is it proper a minister of state's wife to be appointed as auditor general?

Here are the responses: (59 Votes)

51 % - It is difficult for her to take an independent approach towards the spending of the ministry that is headed by her husband.
44 % - There are other suitable people that can be appointed into this position.
3 % - It is proper as there is no conflict of interest.
2 % - It is proper if she has cleared through the normal process.
