"content": "The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs made a Report which was tabled in this House. It agreed with the NADCO on the proposed amendments, save to propose a slight amendment which this House will consider at the Committee of the whole House as regards Clause 3 of the proposed amendments. This Bill proposes to amend, in Clause 2, Section 5 of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2011, which we refer to as the Principal Act. It proposes that the Bill be amended by deleting subsection 1, and then substituting, therefore, with the following new sub- section. The new subsection 1 is going to read as follows: “The chairperson of the Commission, (and the commission here means the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission), shall be a person who is qualified to hold the office of a judge of the High Court under the Constitution."
