    "content": "The other bit is the quorum issue. Early this year or late last year, we made amendments to the National Police Service Act, which changed the quorum from five commissioners to six. When we looked at the changes, it mentions who must be present. That is something that we also needed to do. Hon. Speaker, basically, I agree with you that the Committee could not go beyond its mandate. At the same time, and we need some guidance on this, Article 251(c) is on physical incapacity, and it is also a challenge. We were trying to look at gross misconduct and again it could not fit. The petitioners were saying that the commissioner was conspicuously absent, but they never proved this because they also did not have any medical report. So, does it fall under that? Lastly, when we were making our recommendation, we looked at Article 251(4)."
