    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am always and I want to continue to be truthful to this House. I should be able to undertake what I think is right and will be done. Although these commissioners were appointed separately, this is now a body; a commission. You have to look at them as a team. Section 4 of the Act as I said earlier, is very clear that the Commission shall consist of a chairperson and two other members. You cannot look at them separately. You need to look at the Commission as a body able to discharge the functions of the Commission as a team. When you look at the quorum even under the Act, it should be a quorum taken by a majority of the commissioners. If we have two commissioners, for example, sitting and dealing with the issue of the Commission and there is a tie between the two, how will you break that tie? Therefore, we have to look at the three members as a body to be able to discharge the functions of the Commission. This is a very important aspect. As I said, tommorow is not far; let us wait. I believe this Commission will proceed."
