    "content": "Hon. Speaker, initially, I had a plan to bring an amendment. However, I have looked at the mood of the House and the sensitivity of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). The responsibility of SRC is to do job evaluations. We know the disappointment we had with the previous Chairperson. It is very fortunate that His Excellency the President is leading the war against corruption and he requested Parliament to support him in the war against the vice. The first victim is Dr. Ben Chumo. It is very unfortunate. He is a brilliant guy who has what it takes to fix SRC. Because of the mood of the House and the entire country, he will not be approved to the position of Chairman of the SRC by the National Assembly. We know that corruption in this country is a cancer. We tell Dr. Ben Chumo pole sana . After he finalises his issue in court, I am sure His Excellency the President will consider him for something else. So, I will not move the amendment that I had intended to bring because gauging the mood of the House, I can see that it is not favourable at all. Hon. Speaker, we call upon His Excellency the President and the selection panel to do a background search before appointing persons. We have the National Intelligence Service (NIS). Why did they waste all this time? Why did they not do a background search? His name would not have come all the way to this place. It should have done its job and advised the President on this nominee."
