    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that you may be highly professional, a graduate and everything, but unless you have high moral character and integrity, then that comes to nothing as far as the electoral commission is concerned. Therefore, I am pleased with the assurance given by the Committee that, that aspect was also looked into; not just a qualification, but also a high moral character and integrity of the persons involved. I am pleased to note that among the functions of this Commission, under “A” starts with the word “reform”. So, reform will be the guiding star of this new Interim Independent Electoral Commission that we are now appointing today. We have people who are able to achieve that. I would only urge them to make up for lost time, so that the time envisaged under the legislation, is met in due time. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
