"content": "The import of this amendment is that the recruitment of the commissioners will move from a panel back to the Public Service Commission (PSC). The issue of panels was a relic of the coalition government in which some of the coalition partners did not trust the existing institution to do the job and so, they chose to form panels that had the representatives from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and several other commissions, including Agenda Four Commissions. In essence, they were taking the job of the Executive to recruit their people and giving it to different commissions which they felt that they trusted. The commissions were mainly the Agenda Four commissions. Now that there is no coalition arrangement, we should give the rightful institution the role of interviewing members to commissions. That is the import of this amendment."
