    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also wish to oppose the proposed amendment by my very good friend, Mr. Nyambati. As my friends have said, the intention of this amendment is to allow for one year for this team to complete their work, and also to ensure that this country does not go into an election without a Commission because that would be dangerous for the country. We know what happens during the campaign time. There is hate speech that we are already seeing. So, we need this Commission just for one year. We will also be proposing further amendments to allow for the procedure. We asked for this because Section 19 did not provide for the procedure. We agreed that we do this extension for a year but we will have a proper procedure in place after the one year. We will then have to go through the normal process, where the Public Service Commission will provide the names, Parliament will approve and then the appointments will be made. So, that procedure cannot be escaped through a shortcut like this one."
