    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the responsibility of the committee which by extension is the responsibility of this House is to endorse or reject and nominate. For the committee to purport to direct the President in terms of who he may or he may not appoint is contrary to the law and it is an attempt by the committee to influence a process where they have no mandate. In fact, the law is very clear that where the National Assembly rejects any nomination, the Speaker shall within three days communicate his decision to the President and request the President to submit fresh nominations. Where a nominee is rejected by the National Assembly under sub-section 9, the President shall within seven days submit to the National Assembly a fresh nomination from amongst the persons shortlisted and forwarded by the selection panel under sub-section 5."
