    "content": "Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree with him that the High Court demanded of him that he serves those notices personally to the councilors affected before he could effectively exercise the powers of the Minister. This procedure was followed. However, those councilors have not been paid their salaries for the time they have been in the office. I want him to clarify because he did not touch on the question of their salaries which is pending to-date. Secondly, there is the question of the excess councillors. In my statement, if you look at the HANSARD, I stated very clearly that in the last gazette notice that the Minister gazetted, there were ten excess councillors. So, where will he get money to pay these people? Why is he passing excess councillors to councils that never request for those 10 excess councillors? Thirdly, specifically, I raised the issue of public officers. I asked him to tell us the criteria that he uses for selection of public officers. It was very clear that there is capriciousness. First of all, there was an excess number of public officers who were chosen. There is no clear criteria. In his statement today, again, he has evaded to tell the House what criteria he is using. That is why I asked if he is just loading the councils with his friends."
