I have not heard any Member who has contributed alluding, even in the faintest manner that they would like to have a weakened institution in terms of its ability to check corruption. I would like to inform this House that the biggest challenge we will have if we do not agree with the resolution of this Committee is that we will have a Commission of weak persons whose credibility and integrity has been challenged. It is not the business of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to throw mud at the candidates. The vetting process should not be made or turned into a mudslinging session. Where we found issues that touch on their credibility, we have put them to you. Even when challenges were made, we made evidence available and the truth be told. We have enumerated the reasons why all these candidates are wanting. We have actually stated these reasons quite clearly. If this House was to move ahead and confirm the names against the recommendations of the Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs, that would be most unfortunate because it would be a challenge on whether the House has the political will to combat corruption in this country and, indeed, this would be the real test."
