    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to the Motion. I want to take this opportunity to sympathise with the retired Major for falling sick during his tenure as a Commissioner. The Constitution creates the NPSC and gives it specific duties to carry out. If for two years the Commission could not raise quorum because a Commissioner was not able to be physically in office, as Members of the National Assembly, we have an obligation, under Article 251 to consider any petition by any member of the public seeking to remove a Commissioner from office on those grounds. If it was not contemplated that somebody would fall sick in the course of his appointment and be unable to carry out his or her duties, that sub-article would not have been inserted in the Constitution. The drafters of the Constitution were alive to the fact that it is possible for somebody to fall sick. If they did, there must be a mechanism within law to replace such a person. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
