    "content": "You realize and I have heard the Majority Whip stating as many have stated before that there had been the feeling amongst certain quarters that we needed to amend the mother Act before taking up this process because according to the new dispensation that we have, Parliament does not do interviews. Appointments are done, then vetted by Parliament and then done by the Executive. But the Committee felt very strongly that it is very deliberate and it was right for this particular Commission to be set up by the National Assembly because the NCIC is not the kind of commission that should want to be beholden to the Executive. You would want it to be beholden to the representatives of the people who appoint them and that is only through the National Assembly. So given that the Joint Committee felt very strongly that there was no need to amend it and that National Assembly was in the right place to conduct interviews and come up with the names – 15 names as the Act provides – and from those 15 names, the President would be in order then to select eight names to this Commission."
