    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose the proposal by my dear friend, Hon. Jakoyo. I support the Chairman. We are reducing the wage bill. In the EACC, the commissioners were working full-time. They took over the roles of the Secretariat. There was a great amount of tug of war and nothing much was accomplished. A number of them were earning big salaries and a number of other privileges. It is my proposal that we oppose the amendment and we allow them to be four and work part-time. The members of the Commission should be people whose reputation is so good that they cannot afford to spoil it by getting involved in small issues of corruption. Some of the important people that we know - such as the captains of industries - should be part-time commissioners there. I do not want to give names but we think that, that is the way it should be. So, I oppose."
