    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman I beg to move:- THAT, clause 28 be deleted and replaced with the following new clause— Establishment of the Complaints Commission. 28. (1) There is established a Complaints Commission which shall consist of seven members appointed in accordance with this section. (2) The provisions of section 8(2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the appointment of members of the Commission. (3) After carrying out interviews, the selection panel shall select one person qualified to be appointed as chairperson and six persons qualified to be appointed as members of the Commission, and forward the names to the Cabinet Secretary. (4) The Cabinet Secretary shall, within seven days of receipt of the names, by notice in the Gazette, appoint a chairperson and six members of the Commission. (5) The Cabinet Secretary may, in writing, reject any nomination on reasonable grounds whereafter the Cabinet Secretary shall communicate the decision to the selection panel. (6) Upon receipt of the notice of rejection under subsection (11), the selection panel shall select another person from the list of shortlisted applicants and submit his or her name to the Cabinet Secretary for appointment. This is the clause that establishes the Complaints Commission. Indeed, in this particular clause, we are talking about the Complaints Commission being established by the Council itself. We thought it was not going to be as independent as possible. After negotiations with the media, we decided that the establishment of the Complaints Commission should actually mirror that of the Media Council. That is why we are saying that provisions of section 8(2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) shall apply mutatis mutandis to this particular section."
