    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I was very clear. I said that we do nominate from a list that is forwarded to us. We do not have the latitude to look at the list of 50 or 100 people who may have applied initially for those positions. Once the applications have been received by the Public Service Commission, vetting is done and then a limited number is then forwarded to the panel of experts who are empowered to carry out professional interviews and then shortlist. Only three names are forwarded to the principals with respect of the chair to these commissions. Only three names are finally forwarded to the principals. Out of those three names, we are supposed to agree on one. Whereas, for example, in one case we did agree on one but, as hon. Members now know, a different name was actually forwarded to the House from the one that we had agreed on. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are able to iron out these matters here and if we get the name of a qualified person from the Coast, we will ensure that he is nominated because we do not want to discriminate."
