    "content": "The First Schedule is on the Procedures for appointment of their chairperson and members of the commission. I also want to draw your attention to the role of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This Committee plays a very critical role in terms of appointment of these Commissioners. The wrangles that we have seen in this Commission are real and we cannot wish them away. Although the Speaker made a ruling yesterday by-passing this Committee, I believe that this will still be a thorn in the flesh for this House to perform its constitutional mandate. I would like to suggest that if there is a problem in the Committee, there are many Members of the Back Bench who are qualified enough to serve in this Committee. Why can this House not pass a resolution to disband this Committee once and for all and we appoint other Members, so that we can have a Committee that will play its constitutional role in the implementation of the Constitution?"
