    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. It is good that hon. Katoo has just raised that issue. We have a very big problem with the office of the Clerk. We have made several complaints about the issue. As we are talking, out of the 35 resolutions we are done with, over 20--- We have been asking our committee clerk to prepare a report that we will bring to House, but it has not happened. After every two weeks, we have a new clerk. After one month, the researcher is taken away. In fact, this week we have seen the Clerk three times with the Chair, hon. Soipan. We are really frustrated by the Clerk’s office. We keep on requesting for a permanent clerk so that we can deliver on our mandate because it is very important. We have done that severally and we have made reports. We have written a letter to the office of the Clerk on this issue. Hon. Deputy Speaker, secondly, I am also a member of the Committee for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIOC). We had raised issues with hon. Nyachae about the constitutional Bills that are supposed to be passed; I think over a year ago. Now he is just busy running up and down seeking to be elected as a governor and he has no business anymore with the CIC. I think it is important for him to be able to come up with solutions. Under the chairmanship of hon. Baiya, we have been raising these issues. Some of those Bills are not even anywhere close to Parliament. We have been asking Nyachae to present them to Parliament. But then as hon. Midiwo has just said, some of these Commissioners want to continue staying in office without performing their mandate. I will be the first person to oppose any extension because hon. Nyachae just wants to continue being in that Commission. It is important for us to push CIC through the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) to do their work."
