    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, this Bill somehow treats The Land Commission as different from the other Commissions. I think we should deal with the Commission exactly in the way we deal with all the other Commissions under the Chapter on Commissions of the Constitution – the way we deal with their commissioners, their secretaries and members of staff. On the issue of the staff members, there is a proposal in this Bill that members of staff be vetted. I do not see a very good reason for us going that way. Other than the commissioners and the secretary, who have to be re-appointed, which is what the Constitution requires, for the other staff members, we have transited staff from one institution to the next. Unless the Commission, in its wisdom, wants to jettison some staff members, I do not see why by statute, we should require that they all re-apply for appointment unless there are claims or there is good basis for worrying that there might be corruption issues within that particular Commission.. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a vetting process for the judges and magistrates but that has a proper basis. We have a good reason for doing that. I do not see the good reason for doing these others. With those remarks, I support."
