    "content": " Mr. Chairman, Sir, mine was a contribution on the original amendment by the Committee. Let me just say something before the amendment on the amendment is moved by Prof. Anyang-Nyong’. I want to support the amendment by the Committee that Clause 4 be deleted. If you refer to the HANSARD, Clause 5(4) of the Bill which was actually debated for a record six days, most of the contributions were on the functions of the secretariat and the selection panel. It is because we wanted to get an office that is responsible for election matters. We wanted to make it very clear that the Commission is above the secretariat. That was why we were in a way, looking at this issue of staggering the appointment of the commissioners. If we leave the secretariat to do some other issues on the elections then the Commission which is the one responsible to this House may say those are administrative issues. So, I really support the proposed amendment by the Committee."
