    "content": "Article 215(2) of the Constitution provides that: “The Commission shall consist of the following persons appointed by the President─ (a) a chairperson, who shall be nominated by the President and approved by the National Assembly; (b) two persons nominated by the political parties represented in the National Assembly according to their proportion of members in the Assembly; (c) five persons nominated by the political parties represented in the Senate according to their proportion of members in the Senate; and (d) the Principal Secretary in the Ministry responsible for finance.” It was agreed in the National Assembly that each will nominate one member each. The current commissioners’ term started on 31st December, 2010 upon the promulgation of the new Constitution. Therefore, their term has just expired. That is why we are in this stage of recruiting new commissioners. It is also worth noting that the term of commissioners of the CRA is a six year term which is not subject to renewal."
