    "content": "were designed to have in excess of nine members. However, only those which are specifically mentioned, which include the PSC, JSC and SRC, because of their unique composition, they must bring in other people. The question of exceeding the number is specifically catered for; it is not an ambiguity. The question of the tenure is answered by Article 127 (5). It is very specific. The question is under Article 127 (4). When does a member vacate office? A member who is appointed by this House to the PSC will vacate at the end of the term of the House of which the person is a member of. However, it is saved by part (5), which says: “Despite clause 4, when the term of a House of Parliament ends, a member of the Commission appointed under Clause 2(C) shall continue in office until a new member has been appointed.” Therefore, technically, the Members we appoint here serve for five years but before the new ones come in, they will serve. They can actually serve for more than five years. What am I saying? There are no ambiguities. If we choose to ignore Article 250, let us choose to ignore it. Let us not say that it is because there are ambiguities. I rest my case Hon. Speaker."
