    "content": "Another big challenge, which we are also very well aware of, and which has messed up the management of so many of our institutions, is ethnicity, nepotism, clannism and favouritism. How do we avoid this? In addition to specifying the values and principles of good governance in the Constitution, and in the other laws that we are making, we have gone into greater detail as to specify who qualifies to be appointed to which office, who will undertake what type of activity and what type of reports will be necessary to hold our institutions accountable. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Members have raised the issue of having part-time and full-time Commissioners. The commission is non-executive, but it is an independent commission, and will not be subject to the direction of anybody. The commission will not be subject to the control of anybody, but it controls its own secretariat. We can have a few members of the commission on a full-time basis for quick consultative processes with the management, in case they need clarification of certain policies, rules and regulations affecting their day to day operations in specific situations that may arise. The Bill provides for the chairperson and one other Commissioner to be available on a full-time basis. Their being available on a full-time basis will not make them executive. They will still be Commissioners who will be available for consultation by the secretariat. With those remarks, I beg to support."
