    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am going to be very factual in opposing this amendment. Precedent was set before. In South Africa, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Electoral Management Board had to go to the Constitutional Court when the commissioners usurped the role of her secretariat. A similar thing happened in Namibia, where the President had to intervene to ensure that the secretariat was left with more muscle than what the commissioners wanted. Ghana’s election body, which is one of the best elections management bodies we have in this continent, has a clear-cut role between the Commissioners and the secretariat. Ghana has set a very good example in election management. Who are we to try to re-invent the wheel? This amendment is ill advised and should be rejected."
