    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I just wanted to clarify some things in the Constitution in terms of suitability. Article 73(2)(a) on Leadership and Integrity regarding the principles of leadership and integrity; they include selection on the basis of personal integrity, competence and suitability or election in a free and fair election. So, the two are separate. When you are going to be a leader who is selected, then it will be on the basis of competence and suitability. Suitability is through vetting. If you are going to be elected, the condition is a free and fair election. Regarding the issue of the role of Parliament in vetting of security agents, it comes from Article 238(1)(a) – National Security is subject to the authority of the Constitution and Parliament. So, national security and all national security organs are subject to authority of Parliament. Finally, I want to make a correction that the Attorney-General gets vetted and has no security of tenure."
