    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to talk about the Constitution. It is encouraging that the Commission has been given offices to operate from. Many a times, we have set up commissions in this country but they do not have offices to operate from. Fortunately, the Commission has confessed to us that they are through with that challenge. However, whereas the Commission has appreciated that they have been given funding through the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, it is important that we move with speed, let the Commission hire its staff so that we could delink the finances of the Commission from that of the Ministry because the autonomy and independence of this Commission is very crucial for it to discharge its duties. That is why in our legislation we saw it fit for the Commission to have its own finances. Therefore, it is important that we move with speed and let the Commission hire its staff so that it does not rely on staff seconded to it by the Ministry. Let them do the recruitment as fast as possible so that it is a Commission that has a team and can discharge its functions."
