"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in response to a Statement requested for by Sen. Billow on issues surrounding the appointment to the Gender and Human Rights Commission (GHRC). We were directed to get in touch with the Ministry of Devolution and obtain answers. We have part of the answer from the Ministry on their part. But on the key questions, they have said, and I agree with them, that we need to get the answers from the Office of the Attorney-General and the Department of Justice because according to Executive Order No.2 of 2013 that Commission falls under the office of the Attorney- General. We have been in contact with the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the office of the Attorney-General. I expect to get an answer very shortly. So, I really want to tender my sincere regrets to my friend, Sen. Billow Kerrow, that I am not able to give him a full and comprehensive answer today until I get that information from the office of the Attorney-General. What has happened is that the panel was constituted, it carried out interviews and we have the dates of those interviews. But anything beyond that, is a matter for the office of the Attorney-General. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to request for more time. I hope my learned friend – sorry, he is not my learned friend, but my colleague will accept that we give the answer in two weeks."
