    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Mine will be brief because my good chairman has spoken on behalf of the Committee where we sit. This is basically innocuous amendment on an omission to the Bill on vacancies that occur in the commission. At some point, the chairman will lead us to a discussion as to whether we still need this commission. I am not sure whether it has served its purpose in so far as the wage bill is concerned. So, the discussion should be done at the earliest opportunity. I am little disappointed that when we had the opportunity as the Senate to have one of our Members sit in the SRC, we chose a Member of the National Assembly without knowing. I shall not mention the criteria but it was, in my honest opinion, fickle. This is because if a Member of the National Assembly has served for five years can qualify for a position that requires 10 years’ experience, a Senator who has served for 10 years should equally qualify. However, I have one vote in the Senate and that is that. Thank you, chairman for this amendments. This should be fairly quite simple. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support."
