    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I was just pleading with my colleagues that before we effect hurried amendments, we must take into consideration the fact that these amendments were considered extensively by the Committee. On the amendment by hon. Lessonet, we must be very categorical when we provide for two nominees by the President and two nominees by the Prime Minister; that one must be a woman and one must be a man. If we bring on board paragraphs (c) and (d) without specifying that one should be of either gender, we will be negating what we discussed. We have taken care of the issue of regional representation by insisting that each nominating body will submit two names, and not one. Instead of submitting one nominee, the Judicial Service Commission will submit two nominees, so that Parliament will consider those names and consider regional balance and gender and forward the names. So, this amendment was well thought out. If we hurry to make amendments to this amendment, we will dilute, and even negate, it."
