    "content": "Article 251(4) states: “On receiving a petition under clause (3), the President- (a) may suspend the member or office holder pending the outcome of the complaint.” Here, the President is required to act immediately. It goes on to give a command that, “shall appoint a tribunal in accordance with Clause (5).” It is automatic for the President to appoint a tribunal. That is why I was now proposing another recommendation because on Page 54, the second last paragraph reads: “From the foregoing, the Committee is convinced that the future of the Commission is bleak and the fight against corruption shall fail. The problems at the Commission are attributed to both the Commissioners and the secretariat as the two cannot work together.” Therefore, this House is already saying that we let the Commission and the secretariat go. One of the matters adversely mentioned in this is about the building they are sitting in and that the secretariat has presented their documents. I can Table that. I believe all of them were presented at the Committee stage. Because the Committee represents the House, it is good that we make the necessary amendments so that we move with a reasonable report which all of us can work on. I urge hon. Kaluma to second my amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
