    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is important for us to look back to where we are coming from. If you recall, the reason as to why we had to invite Kriegler, Kofi Annan and others was precisely because there was a very strong feeling that one person, who was a player in the very exercise we were preparing for, had the opportunity to make all the appointments of the Commission members. We must go back to that one and understand that we must move away from there. It is because of that reason that I find it very difficult in this transition period to support a situation where we are giving two slots to the President and two slots to the Prime Minister, yet these are players like ourselves in the political field. I would want to move away from that since we are all participants; the next elections will require that all of us be comfortable with the method used to pick the Commissioners of the election body and the process of managing the elections. Hon. Members will remember that the other day we had a problem when deciding whether there had been sufficient consultations, or whether there had been consultations at all, yet that was between two individuals in high offices. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would want to urge that we look at an amendment which involves the political parties and other players, so that we can have a broad consensus."
