    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment for two reasons. One, this Parliament is supposed to vet and approve appointments from the President. We cannot approve then it goes to the President and then it again comes back to Parliament. The procedure has always been that appointment is made and then we approve as Parliament. I do not understand why this should be changed. More importantly, is the amendment proposed under (b). We had discussed this matter earlier. It is like we are again insisting that out of the nine Commissioners who will be appointed, it is already decided that five of them must come from the former ECK and the existing Interim Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. This is taking us back to arguments we have had here before where we were saying: Let us open up appointments for these Commissioners. So, I oppose."
