Zionist Union leader Avi Gabbay responded to the proposal by MK Betzalel Smotrich(Jewish Home) to restrict the authority of the State Comptroller.
"The government of aristocrats continues to be concerned only about itself. Now the comptroller is on the line. The corrupt political culture of this government allows another attack on the government watchdogs. Restricting the power of the comptroller and reducing his authority does not serve the public, only the government which wishes to work without supervision.
"I repeat what I said. A government led by me will cancel all bills which restrict the war against corruption."
