    "content": "are experienced in public affairs but are not Members of Parliament. (3) The Clerk of the Senate shall be the Secretary of the Commission.” Hon. Speaker, the position of the female non-Member of Parliament under Article 127(2)(d) of the Constitution became vacant on 18th March 2020 following the expiry of the term of the immediate former holder of the position, Dr. Lorna Mumelo on 17th March 2020 and who was not eligible for reappointment to the Commission in line with Article 250(6)(a) of the Constitution. The expiry of the term of Dr. Lorna Mumelo coincided with the declaration of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) as a global pandemic. It was not, therefore, appropriate to immediately declare the vacancy for the position of commissioner and call for applications at that particular point in time."
