In response to his nomination, Manus Twisk said: “I am committed to the Court of Auditors The Hague, which, with its independent judgments and recommendations, is an important support for the city council. My aim is to produce high-quality reports that are independent of the political issues of the day, but I also want to use the expertise of the Court of Audit to respond to current events. Where things are not going well, I hope that the city council will use the recommendations of the Court of Audit to improve the functioning of the municipality for citizens, institutions and companies in The Hague. “
