    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Section 7(2) of the Act further provides that the relevant nominating body shall consider the applications received under sub-section 1 to determine their compliance within the provisions of the Constitution and this Act, interview the applicants and forward the names of two persons who qualified who shall be of opposite gender to the Cabinet Secretary for onward transmission for the President. Section 10 of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) Act provide for the filling of the vacancies of the membership of the commission as follows; “Filling of the vacancy where a vacancy occurs in the membership of the Commission under Section 9, the appointment procedures provided for under the Constitution and the Act shall apply. A member appointed under Section 1 shall serve for a term of six years but shall not be legible for reappointment while Section 7 requires that the selection process commences 14 days of the occurrence of the vacancy. The Act did not provide a mechanism for notification of the vacancy to nominating bodies when the term of the commissioners expires. Without a single notice to nominating bodies, each body took note of the vacancy (at its own time) and then commenced the nomination process. A notification of vacancy in the Gazette was therefore necessary to prompt the simultaneous nomination processes by all bodies required to nominate Commissioners to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. In addition, the Salaries and Remuneration Act did not provide for timelines for the process of selection of the commissioners. That was indeed evidenced by the selection process that followed the expiry of the term for the immediate former Commission on 15th December, 2017. The various nominating bodies commenced the selection process at different times and by 12th June, 2018, six months later, the selection of all nominees under Article 230 of the Constitution, had not been completed. Additionally, all the nominees would be required to be approved by the National Assembly under Article 250 of the Constitution. A delay in the selection process therefore delayed the entire appointment process. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Bill therefore sought to provide for timely appointment of Commissioners following the expiry of the term of the preceding"
