    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT clause 13 of the Bill be amended- (a) by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (3)- (i) (3A) If after three months a service Commission has not investigated and determined a complaint, the officer responsible for handling the complaint shall give the complainant satisfactory reasons, in writing, for noncompliance (ii) (3B) Appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken against any officer who is found to have unreasonably delayed in handling a complaint made to the service Commission. (b) by deleting sub-clause (4) and substituting therefor the following new clause- (4) A person aggrieved by the decision of a service Commission may seek judicial redress. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the purpose of rewarding public servants for their good work and values is not enough without providing a mechanism for persons who have not satisfied the criteria set in the Bill, to be put to task, hence, the reason we have proposed a complaint process mechanism. However, we did not want this to be the classic example of complaints in the country or public bodies staying for eternity, hence the three months, with a caveat that in the event that within three months that complaint has not been addressed, there shall be reasons for non-compliance in writing."
