    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I really want to thank the Member for Gichugu for that clarification and to further add that, if you look at Clause 2, it says that a public officer who is seconded to the Commission shall during the period of secondment, be deemed to be an officer of the Commission and subject only to the direction and control of the Commission. If we delete as proposed by the Committee, we will also be deleting that clause. That would mean that they may request to hire and the people they get may as well go and be under the direction of somebody else. Clause 2 obligates that whichever officer is brought in will be under direct control of the Commission. I would like to ask that, for purposes of preserving Clause 2, we do not need to delete the entire Clause 16. That is because if we delete Clause 16 and only replace it with Section (i), we will gain the advantage of independence of transparency in recruitment, but we will lose the control and direction by the Commission of the officers who are seconded to it by the Government or by any other body. So, I would like to urge the Chairman of the Committee to consider withdrawing this, in the interest of us not defeating a proposal by the Committee."
