    "content": "The Statement request by hon. Ibrahim Saney is with regard to the challenges faced by the membership of the TSC, who advertised to fill up vacancies in its membership in September, 2012. The TSC shortlisted 11 candidates for the position of Commission Members and five for the Chairperson and thereafter interviewed the said persons. Thereafter, the panel shortlisted three candidates for the position of Chairperson and forwarded the names to the appointing authority. The President nominated the persons and submitted their names to the National Assembly for approval. However, the nominees were rejected by the National Assembly. The same names were subsequently re-submitted to the National Assembly and the National Assembly approved them on 9th January, 2013. The list contained an additional name which had not been rejected previously. The other two were the same persons who had previously been rejected by the National Assembly. This caused a case to be filed in court, through a petition, challenging the legality of the approval of those names by this House. The appointment of the nominees was, therefore, stopped by the court, and was declared improper, null and void in law. One other person was nominated."
