    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I am learning. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 3 of the First Schedule of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission Act, 2008, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, this House resolves to extend the period for recruitment of commissioners to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission by a further 14 days from 2nd November 2018. The commissioners of the NCIC were recruited in 2014 and their term has expired. We are in the process of recruiting new commissioners. For a number of constraints, we beg that we be given more time to be able to undertake this process in the best manner possible. A large number of applications have already been received and we expect more to be received as the period for submission of applications has been extended by one more day. This then will mean more time needed for the secretariat to do analysis. Secondly, we are breaking for recess and it is the request of Members of this Committee that it may not be possible enough to get all of them to attend to the various steps in the recruitment of these personalities. For that reason, it would be useful that we give enough time which will give the Members opportunity to reflect on the report of the analysis from the secretariat. Thirdly, this process that has been initiated is very crucial. The NCIC commissioners are very useful to this nation because they will be members of one of the commissions that carry the fate of this nation. It is, therefore, important to note that the timeline in the Act of seven days is too tight for a successful and good process to be conducted and concluded. A critical component that makes us to make this application is public participation. We need to fully involve the public The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
