    "content": "No, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady I want to support Mr. Ethuro’s amendment by pleading with the Minister and with colleagues here, that all the Clause is saying is ‘at least five years’. It is not a must that everybody elected to this Commission have five years experience. They can even have 50 years experience but when you put ten years, you are permanently barring the youth! I want to remind Members that in the Constitutional review, we have been led by two very able young men who are youthful and who continue to lead us in very weighty matters in this House. I really want to plead, when we say “not more than five years” we do not mean that everybody elected to that committee will be of five years experience. Some will be of 50 years but then we will not be guilty of barring exceptional talent as has been exhibited in this House."
