    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was furnished with a copy of the written response of the Cabinet Secretary. I want to state categorically that this response is most unsatisfactory in the following respects: The SCAC advised the Cabinet Secretary to reappoint the members of the Commission one year before the expiry of their term. He did not act on that advice until the last day when the term was expiring. He was advised even by the Commission Chief Executive Officer himself that the report had been received and they were willing to comply with it. The Cabinet Secretary refused to comply with that advice. Instead, he opted for the longer and more expensive route of gazetting the process and waiting for financial allocation for the process. As a result, for over one year, the Commission had not had commissioners. In paragraph 7 of the response, the Cabinet Secretary says that they have taken steps to mitigate the lack of commissioners. Section 6 of the Act is very clear that without the commissioners, the Commission cannot work. So, the result is that there are a lot of complaints pending awaiting the process. What the Cabinet Secretary has done could expose him or the Commission to judicial proceedings because he has ignored advice by the SCAC and the CEO of the Council itself. So, this answer is not satisfactory."
