"content": "Clause 2 of the Bill seeks to amend the definition of a chairperson. In the last term, I had an opportunity to bring an amendment to the IEBC Act. My amendment spoke to the chairperson. My view at that time, which I strongly still believe and might bring an amendment on, is that the chairperson possesses the qualification of a Supreme Court judge. That only means that the person must be a judge and must have a background in law. I then ask myself, are elections a legal issue or are they projects? We need successful managers and administrators of projects. We have had chairpersons who have been lawyers, but all that time there have been issues. As a country, should we only interrogate lawyers as chairpersons or can we change this and bring in project managers who can deliver even without a legal background? We need to look into that."
