    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. On the first question on the failure of the Executive arm of the Government to recruit staff for the CIC, according to Section 18 of the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution Act (No.9 of 2010), hiring staff is a matter entirely at the discretion of the Commission. The Executive arm of the Government does not and cannot recruit staff for the CIC. The Executive may only second staff to the CIC on request as provided for in Section 15(3) of the Act. In line with its mandate and following a request from the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, the Ministry of State for Public Service carried out a study covering organization structure, staffing levels, salary structure, terms and conditions of service and job descriptions and specifications for the CIC secretariat. These are the basic requirements for operationalizing a new institution. The study came with a tentative staffing requirement of 117. However, the report is still in draft form awaiting finalization to enable the CIC to act conclusively on its recommendations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to confirm to hon. Members that as at now, the CIC has a staff complement of 77 officers. Forty five of these staff are on secondment from the Government while 32 officers have been recruited by the Commission. In addition, through the support of the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, UNDP has assisted in the recruitment of a media and communications advisor. I hereby table the list of staff on secondment to the CIC from the Government and those directly recruited by the CIC."
