    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was honoured by this Senate to be nominated and appointed as a Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission, which position I have served to the best of my ability, despite the shortcomings that my able leader has mentioned. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution is very clear that in addition to the Members of the National Assembly and Members of the Senate who serve in this Commission, two nominees must come from outside, hence the reason this Motion is before us; in order to appoint the proposed Members, Hon. (Dr.) Abdullahi Ibrahim Ali and Mrs. Lornah Mumelo to be members of the Parliamentary Service Commission. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the last one year or so, the Parliamentary Service Commission has been operating less two members. Therefore, the purpose of the appointment of these members is to make the Commission to be fully representative, as it is envisaged in our Constitution. So, the process of nominating the persons to fill these two positions has been completed and the names of hon. (Dr.) Abdullahi Ibrahim Ali and Mrs. Lornah Mumelo were proposed. I want to confirm that Hon. (Dr.) Ali, as it has been said, is a distinguished former Member of the National Assembly. He served with a lot of distinction during his tenure and left. He is a medical doctor and was a previous member of the Commission. I want to confirm, like hon. Wetangula has done, that he served the membership of Parliament to the extent that the welfare facilities that we enjoy today, he and others were responsible in creating. So, I have a lot of faith that by approving the nomination of Dr. Ali, the Parliamentary Service Commision will be even richer. It is my hope that his presence in the PSC will help minimize the deficiencies that might have been pointed out in the Commission and with his wealth of experience, he should be able The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
