    "content": "It is to be noted, and this is important for Parliament, that this process places the primacy of the appointment of Commissioners in Parliament. This is because four of the seven are actually appointed by the Parliamentary Service Commission. So, Parliament has the greatest say in the appointment of the Commissioners. I dare say that if we adopted this and it was signed into law, there would be no reason why we would not immediately have proceeded and fill the four vacancies that currently exist in the IEBC. If we were to do that, we would then have the space to address the very fundamental issue of how to deal with the three existing Commissioners, most of who many people have expressed disquiet about. However, we cannot deal with them until and unless we have a process of appointing others because there cannot be an IEBC without Commissioners."
