"content": "Should the Commission ever want or hunt for an officer who is in Government, this is to obligate the Government to second the officer to the Commission. However, should the Commission never request, there will be no secondment. This is a standard clause. It safeguards the Commission against a refusal by the Government to second a needed officer. I stand for the independence of the Commission. This clause also stands for its independence because should it never request, no Government Department will ever second staff that is requested by the Commission. I am urging that we take the clause because if we do not take it, tomorrow the Commission will request for a staff that is good in Government, and the Government may not reciprocate. It will second another one. This is for strengthening the Commission and I am urging we read it dispassionately."
