    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to oppose these amendments. First of all, it should be noted that to constitute all commissions, you have specific and special selection panels and the procedure does not involve the PSC. In fact, if you go to the IEBC, you will find that there is a selection panel and when you go to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), you find that there is a procedure set out in law which is separate and distinct. If you come to the Parliamentary Service Commission, you will find that the procedure does not involve the PSC. This, if effected, will subject one Commission to another Commission. The commissions should be equal in law and in power. Now, you are subjecting this Commission to another as if it is a junior Commission to the PSC. I do not see why we cannot go with the current trend where we have a special selection panel doing the recruitment or the recommendation of names to the President for nomination, for subsequent approval by Parliament and final appointment by the President. Let us go with the tradition which governs almost all Commissions. I cannot remember any Commission where another Commission would be the one recruiting the commissioners. Personally, I do not agree with this amendment. I oppose."
