When you respect separation of powers, the Executive does not choose for itself which judicial member will be a member of the committee. They request the Judiciary and the Judiciary gives a person but this handpicking by the Executive is not good for separation of powers. It is not even good for the confidence of the public. The Minister needs to make a serious explanation as to this and, to me, it is part of a continuing sabotage of the reforms that we are implementing. So it needs an explanation."}
