    "content": "His Excellency the President, in consultation with the Right hon. Prime Minister, shall similarly forward the name of the person nominated as Chairperson of the Commission to the Departmental Committee for vetting. The Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade shall vet the persons nominated for appointment as Chairperson and members of the Commission and shall prepare and present its Report thereon to the House for debate and approval on or before Thursday, 24th November, 2010. Hon. Members, according to the process as agreed at the KIA, if the House approves the persons nominated for appointment to the Commission, the names of the persons so approved shall be forwarded by the Speaker of the National Assembly to His Excellency the President so that the appointments to the Commission are made either on or before 25th November, 2010. Thursday, 25th November, 2010, is, therefore, the last date by which, under the Constitution, the Commission on Revenue Allocation must be appointed. It should also be noted that it was agreed that as the appointment process of the Commission proceeds, it is vital that a supplementary legislation to govern the Commission on Revenue Allocation be developed and introduced in the National Assembly. Hon. Members, I wish to commend the House for the determination and resolve it has so far shown in disposing of matters relating to the implementation of the Constitution and to assure the public that, we, in this House, will continue to do all that we can, to ensure that the Constitution is implemented timeously and both in letter and in spirit. I thank you."
