    "content": "I was looking at Clause 9 and I am very happy with it. The last time we had a Bill about an independent office in this Assembly, we had to fight about that office’s capacity to hire and fire staff. In Clause 9 of this Bill, the Office of the Controller of Budget is given mandate as required by the Constitution to hire its own staff. They should appoint such staff only on such terms as the Public Service Commission (PSC) may approve and on salaries as may be recommended by the Salaries and Remuneration Committee (SRC). This is the way we should work. We establish offices which should consult and work together to ensure that each office’s roles and functions are respected. The Office of the Controller of Budget will propose that they want to employ a certain number of people and the PSC will tell them that they should employ them on such terms. The SRC will go ahead to tell them to employ on such terms within certain payment ceilings. The Office of the Controller of Budget should not be undermined and weakened in terms of how it can employ staff."
