    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 11 of the Bill be amended- (a) in Subclause (1) by deleting the words \"appointed by the President from amongst the commissioners\" and substituting therefor the words \"elected by the commissioners from amongst themselves\"; (b) in Subclause (3) by deleting paragraph (c). Mr. Chairman, Sir, one of the biggest issues with truth commissions is the independence of those commissions. These proposals allow the commissioners to elect their own chair as opposed to the President doing so. That is essentially to shield the commissioners from any perceived political interference, and to strengthen the independence of the commission."
