    "content": "I support this Bill by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs although we might need to make some few amendments here and there. I still support it because it is the only procedure that we can use to bring in the new commissioners to serve in the next elections. No one has a monopoly of worries. We are all worried about the next elections, from MCAs to the President. A few people should not take this issue as a matter of their own. Everybody wants to go through a free and fair election, if he or she is worth the name of a leader, unless some people want to cook their way and take short cuts. The issue of either agreeing to sit and wait or move forward should rest on us. The bottom line is that we cannot run away from our legislative power and obligation. It is us who are making people get worried. Like I said previously, it could be the Commissioners are that bad. It could be it is us politicians who are bad. We cannot remove them and start emasculating the ones who will be appointed or start making statements outside there to jeopardize a very clean procedure."
