    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I did not want to oppose my friend, Hon. Amina Abdalla, but in this case, I rise to oppose the amendment. I oppose it because when you read Article 249 (b) of the Constitution, it says that those bodies must be independent. Remember they are fighting issues to do with corruption. Their terms as they come cannot be renewed. In case of a vacancy and we give the job of appointing to PSC, there is likely to conflict of interest. We must retain it to be independent because they will be the same people looking at the issues of corruption in the Public Service. That is the concern I have. I oppose the amendment."
