    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other important provisions which I think we should look at are in relation to the Political Parties Act and they are important and this has to do with the extension of the time for the appointment of the selection committee. We have not had a substantive occupant of the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties within the provisions of that Act or in the manner which was contemplated and in the general spirit of the Constitution. So, on page 1121, you will find that there are provisions there that will now make it possible for the President in consultation with the Prime Minister to begin the process for nomination and approval of the person who will be appointed through a panel and we are now used to that process in regard to all appointments especially the ones that touch on the Constitution. We have at all times been able to constitute panels which then give the recommendations to the principals who then submit their decisions to Parliament, and if Parliament approves, then the President can appoint."
