    "content": "If you look at the proposals, you will find that they are diametrically opposed to the provisions of Chapter XV of the Constitution in relation to constitutional commissions. In fact, if you look at what is being proposed by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, you will find that it is simply to weaken a constitutional body. By pretending that this Bill will reduce the burden on the taxpayer in terms of paying commissioners less because they will be part time, you are basically saying that you would do the same to other constitutional commissions. In this case, therefore, this Bill is establishing a very dangerous precedent because it is not informed by any scientific experimentation. This Bill is basically about politics of brinkmanship. It is actually pulling the rag under the carpet and it is setting to dictate the negotiations before the Kiraitu/Orengo led Committee."
