    "content": "We also came up with a mechanism of appointing new Commissioners and reduced their number to seven. Many have questioned why we did not go by the majority stakeholders who had recommended that the Commissioners be part-time. What informed us to give them the full- time basis was because after the next elections, the next thing the Commission will have to do is boundary review which in the Constitution should start eight to 10 years from the last review. It will be one of the jobs which the incoming Commissioners will perform. So, making them part-time would have defeated the whole purpose of them reviewing the boundaries. The compromise was that they should be full-time for purposes of reviewing boundaries of constituencies and wards before the 2022 elections."
