    "content": "Hon. Members, let us remove the ethnic dimension. I do not think it helps. The Constitution, in Article 251(1)(c), anticipated a situation in which a member of any commission may fall ill to an extent that they are not able to execute the functions of their respective offices. If those circumstances become so serious that it is not feasible to see a possibility of the person recovering, that was put as a ground alongside other grounds, for removal of the person from office. We are not talking about incompetence. That is why I said when we discuss these matters, let us not politicise anything. If we start bringing issues which are not going to help the country, it is not fair. We are discussing the health of a person. We do not want to appear to politicise everything. The health of this Commissioner is important. We have been told that he has been unwell since 2013. We should confine ourselves to argue whether we should give him more time or not. The moment we begin looking at this issue with other lenses, I can assure you that we will be dealing with this matter not in the right frame of the mind. We should refrain from other issues. Just look at this issue compassionately. That is how I look at it. It is a matter that requires compassion even as we discuss or as we decide one way or the other."
