    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was very clear from the work that we have done that Parliament is more equipped to do vetting than interviews because in interviews you want to find out somebody’s qualifications. However, in vetting, you want to assure yourself on those other doubts you may have apart from their qualification. As a person who has been in all the processes this House has undertaken of recruiting commissioners, this was the first time that I saw Parliament fitting into the job that we were doing. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, the importance of having a vetting law cannot be overstated. The Executive gave us a very short time to vet these nominees. We needed to be give ample time, so that members of the public with any issues could raise them. It is very important that the vetting law gives the shortest period that the Committee should be given to vet and also limit the length. In the issue of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) we overextended. Indeed, it almost looked like a fishing mission."
