    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to go to my third point. When we discussed the Draft Bill, we did recognise that, first, Kriegler was very categorical on some of the issues which brought problems in the electoral process. He did say that we need to give capacity to the Secretariat. So, when I hear my colleagues condemning the Minister for giving more powers to the Secretariat, then it comes to my mind that probably we have not read the Kriegler Report properly. This is the case and yet we adopted the Kriegler Report in this House, which suggested that we should establish an efficient and effective Secretariat. It suggested that we should make a Secretariat that is executive. The Commissioners come and go. In order for us to retain continuity and expertise within the Commission, we need to give more attention to the Secretariat. In that respect, I support this Bill for giving more powers to the Secretariat, because that was a requirement by the Kriegler Report."
