    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the Motion and the greatest reasons why we should not go on adjournment is that we need to correct the illegality committed by the Executive. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs cannot correct this without Parliament. Committees of Parliament have to be sanctioned by this House when they deliver their reports. Therefore, the debate on adjournment is firmly connected to the impunity by the Executive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the contributions, there is confusion amongst hon. Members as to the mode of reappointment. But this is coming because of dishonest pronouncements on the position of the law. Section 8(3) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act clearly stipulates that for the President to appoint either the Director or Assistant Director, the recommendation has to come from the Advisory Board and there has to be parliamentary approval. I am aware that the appointment is not expressly provided for, but the Interpretation and General Provisions Act Cap.2 Section 51(1) clearly states that when a process of appointment is provided for, reappointment, dismissal and any other thing follows the same process of appointment."
