    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, Clause 9 of the Bill deals with a scenario where the Bill imposes a duty on a public officer to be accountable for his or her administrative action. So, there is a duty under this Bill that every public officer must be accountable for his administrative action; that the days when you can commit a crime as a public servant and you get away with it or pass the buck to somebody else will no longer be there. Clause 10 deals with appointment and promotion of public officers based on fair competition and merit. So, the days when you were promoted or given a job because you come from the community of the President or you do not get a job because you come from the community of the Leader of the Opposition are gone. When this Bill comes into place, promotions and appointments will be done on merit and fair competition. But the same clause provides for exemptions. When I read this section, it is the section that my colleagues on the other side wanted to take to the Referendum. I want to say it here that this Bill is curing that Referendum question. So, from here, the questions must reduce. Every time a solution is found to the Referendum questions, we should remove or reduce them. Reducing Referendum questions is even good for the owners of the Referendum."
