"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we debate this Bill, I think we need also to bring to the attention of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) that the way they are going about making some of those appointments is not right. When they advertise, shortlist, interview and then just come up with one name, in effect they make themselves the appointing authority. We need to say that in no uncertain terms. It is preferable if for every position they give, at least, three names to the two Principals, so that they can look at them and make a decision. Otherwise, when they just give one name, in effect, they are making the Principals mere rubberstamps. I think that is not the intention of the Constitution. The appointing authority is not even a mere rubberstamp, but a robot basically to confirm what JSC has done."
