"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to pre-empt it by just doing the same thing that I have seen you do to the two Members. I just want to persuade hon. Gumbo on the same matter. Since we came to this House three years ago, we have developed a governance system through which we vet the President‘s nominees and approve them for appointment. Right from the Inspector-General (IG) of the National Police Service to members of the Commission, we have said that the President cannot have a blank check in the way he brings nominees to this House. This is a matter on which we have all along agreed, as a House. The spirit of the Constitution is that there should be power sharing. I am very sure that if this method was to be used, the current Attorney-General (AG) would not be there today. Therefore, I plead with hon. Gumbo to allow adoption of a process through which people can apply for the job and get interviewed. That is why I want to drop my amendment in support of the amendment of the Departmental Committee."
