    "content": "Therefore, the evaluation process should not have been based on academic qualifications, as the SRC did. How do you quantify representation? It is not possible to use academic qualifications to do so. Articles 94, 95, 96 and 99 of the Constitution set out job description for Members of Parliament. So, as Members of Parliament, we occupy a very unique position. We are the only group of people whose job description is actually contained in the Constitution, under the Articles I have referred to. So, it is important that we recognise that fact. As I said earlier, it however took into account the provisions of Section 12 of the Salaries and Remuneration Act. Imagine a commission which violates its own Act of Parliament. I mean you are a commission and a law has been passed here setting out what you are supposed to do and you chose to ignore the provision of the Constitution. No wonder they were not able to comply with the Constitution because they were not even able to comply with their own statute."
