"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was hoping that the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Science and Technology would be listening because it is of her interest to understand how she ought to proceed in this particular matter regarding the TSC. There ought to be a fresh Gazette Notice and the selection panel for the commissioners whose term expired after 14th June; that is on the second part. But on the first part, by now there ought to have been nominees, two people who had been previously interviewed and selected. Three of them exist in that list. That list ought to be in this House as early as before the term of the other nominees expired. That is the reason we are having a problem with the TSC because as it presently stands, it is unconstitutional but we ought to have made a constitutional obligation by appointing two out of the three who have already been interviewed or presently existing. That ought to be done by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Science and Technology. They need to request the TSC Secretary to--- They need to interview him and ask him why he did not submit those three names for selection by the President as was advised by the Attorney-General because that is what the law anticipates. There is no reason why, for example, the three nominees who had qualified should suffer injustice by having them being interviewed again or unfortunately not being shortlisted again because they have already qualified and ought to proceed to the next level of being appointed."
