    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am also a Member of the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee, and I expressed my displeasure with the deletion of this Clause for two reasons. Firstly, we legislate to correct previous mischief. We got it very clearly from the Constitution Implementation Commission, that if we have fulltime Commissioners, they tend to involve themselves in the day-to-day functions of the Commission. In fact, the coming amendments will make all Commissioners fulltime. If we delete this particular Clause, then we will have the same problem. Secondly, if you read the Kriegler Report, you will find that it is very categorical that the Committee system of the previous Commission tended to render the secretariat mere senior clerks. We need to correct that through legislation. Let us put very clear provisions, so that the two will know the boundaries of their functions."
