    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, 31st of December, 2015. If you look at the amendment that is proposed by the Committee, what it seeks to do is that it is enabling the vetting of judges and magistrates to go on in an open ended manner so long as they would show that they would have started vetting some of the cases. If we do not put a cap, then actually what Members of the Committee are saying that it will end in December 2015 is not correct. What it means is that so long as they decide that they have started vetting, they can go on vetting so long as the matters are not complete even for 20 years. So we are actually giving them time to vet for 20 years. What I am doing by my amendment is allowing three months leeway after the 31st December 2015, that if there are any pending cases then they have three months within which to complete because then we are making nonsense of the judicial reform process. We cannot be doing open ended reforms, we must have a timeframe."
