"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I was a Member of this Committee I would have dissented from its recommendations. Definitely, I would have dissented. What, therefore, are we suggesting as a House? We are saying that a new Commission must be set up in order for it to then gazette the report. As we speak today, there is not a single constituency of the 80 suggested by Ligale which is officially in existence. So, none has been gazzeted. It does not exist. It only exists in the minds of the defunct Commission. It does not exist anywhere in this country. Therefore, if we are asking that a new Commission be established, under what circumstances then can we discuss proposals in this House which are intended to guide them? Part of the principles of this Committee, if you go to their principles--- I have a lot of respect for the Chairman of this Commission. I think he could have been overwhelmed by---. If you look at the Committeeâs guiding principles, number four states that any subsequent action on the IIBRC shall respect and protect it, while maintaining the ends of justice, fairness and constitutionality."
