    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment. I will quote Article 249(2) of the Constitution; “The commissions and the holders of independent offices— (a) are subject only to this Constitution and the law; and (b) are independent and not subject to direction or control by any person or authority.” Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, to subject the office of the Auditor-General which under Article 229 is an independent office to the PSC is unconstitutional and the President must be told so. In addition, Article 234(5) which is referred to, of functions and powers of the PSC, there is no clause that the PSC has been given the mandate to recruit staff under Article 229. To that extent, therefore, I want it on record that Clause 4 as proposed by the President is unconstitutional."
