    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the principal object of the Bill is to amend Section 7 and 9 of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) Act No.10 of 2011 to provide for notification in the gazette of the expiry of the term for the commissioners of the SRC that had been nominated in the original Bill. It is also to provide for timelines for filling vacancies in the Commission upon the expiry of the term of the commissioners. You realise we normally have a lacuna whenever that position has arisen before because there were no timelines in executing the above issue. Clause 2 of the Bill proposes to amend Section 7(2) of the Act to require that nominating bodies undertake their respective selection exercises within 21 days of publication of an advertisement for a vacancy in the Commission. Further, Clause 3 of the Bill proposes to amend Section 9 of the Act to list expiry of the term of the office holder under Article 250(6)(a) of the Constitution, as a ground upon which a vacancy in the Commission occurs. This will, therefore, mean that under Section 10 of the Act, the President will be required to give notice of the vacancy in the Gazette Notice within 14 days."
