    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 12 of 2018) be read a Second Time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an amendment to the Salaries Remuneration Commission Act No. 10 of 2011. As we were interviewing the candidates for the SRC as the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, we realised that the current Act has got some gaps and hence the need for the amendments. There are two amendments. In the current Bill, there is no timeframe given for the nomination and recruitment of the commissioners. The idea of the amendment is to provide for notification of the expiry of the term of the Commission because there is no such requirement in the current Bill. So, this Bill attempts to amend Section 7 of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission Act by providing for a timeframe within which the organisations that are required to nominate persons to that Commission should undertake that exercise. We think that once the Commission’s term expires, then within 21 days of that period, all parties that are required to nominate the commissioners should initiate action. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the provision we are making because the current Act does not provide for timelines for the process of selection of the commissioners by the various nominating bodies. Hence, it is left to the discretion of various nominating The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
