"content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause after clause 33- 33A (1) A person who immediately before the appointment of the chairperson and the members of the Commission under sub-section (4) of section 7 was an officer of the former Electoral Commission shall cease to be such officer. I want to amend that by further saying âmay subject to the Constitution continueâ. (2) A person who ceases to hold office as a result of sub-section (1) shall be eligible, subject to the requirements of Article 232 of the Constitution, this Act and any other law, for employment by the Commission or for re-deployment in the Public Service. (3) A person who served as an officer of the former Boundaries Commission shall be eligible, subject to the requirements of Article 232 of the Constitution, this Act and any other law, for employment by the Commission. Mr. Chairman, Sir, in other words, I am trying to insulate these people. Some will be deployed by the Government but they should be eligible for employment, because of the experience and expertise that they got when they were serving. Indeed, most of these members of staff, last week, held a very good election in Ikolomani; there was no problem in the polls. So, they did a good job."
