    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for the Statement he has given. However, given that His Excellency the President during his address to Parliament this Session did emphasize on the important constitutional Bills which would have to be tabled in this House during this period, and that he listed this administrative commission as one of them--- Given the Prime Minister’s clear instructions in his letter to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, dated 24th March 2011, where he advised--- This advice was not ordinary advice but advice pursuant to the constitutional provisions as the Prime Minister exercised the powers of co-ordination and supervision of the functions of the Government. He specifically said:- “During the period before the new Commission is appointed, the PSC Commissioners, management and staff should work jointly with the relevant stakeholders to finalize the Ombudsman Commission Bill, and prepare a comprehensive plan for smooth transition to the Ombudsman Commission, including laying sufficient ground for the procedural appointment and recruitment of commissioners, an executive director and staff of the Ombudsman Commission, you should withhold filling these positions and prepare your staff to transit to the new commission”. In these circumstances, I would like the Assistant Minister to tell us why they have not complied with this circular from the Prime Minister’s office, which makes sense given that we are required to pass this new Bill under a Schedule of the new Constitution before the end of June. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter in question is dated 24th March 2011 and I have a copy of it here."
