    "content": "A selection panel that comprised of seven members was set up. However, these proposed amendments to the Act were necessitated by a declaration in our courts through Constitutional Petition E364 of 2020 by Okiya Omtatah vs the Attorney-General and five others on the unconstitutionality of some of the provisions of the current Act. The High Court held that this unconstitutionality was due to the extent of the nomination by the Parliamentary Service Commission of four out of seven members of the selection panel. The court was of the view that such dominance by the PSC failed to portray the selection panel as fair and independent."
