    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report partially. The SRC is a very important Commission. I have gone through the list of these nominees and I want to mention the nominee who is to be the Chair. Ms. Lyn Mengich qualifies. I have had personal experience with her. I met her in my early days and when it comes to matters of human resource, this lady has the qualifications and I have no doubt, she will be the right chair when it comes to the SRC. The core function of SRC is a human resource function. It is, indeed, important that the people we are going to pass on the Floor of the House must, at least, have expertise in human resource. I humbly request colleagues that when it comes to the chair, I want to assure you that Lyn Mengich qualifies to be the chairperson. I want to talk briefly about Dalmas Otieno. He has been with us in this Parliament. In terms of public service, he has good experience. I have no doubt that he will make a very good commissioner. I also want to talk briefly about Nelly Peris Ashubwe. The Committee on Finance and National Planning has let us down badly. This lady really qualifies to be an SRC commissioner. I want to give the following reasons. In parliamentary practice, if a committee has brought a report on the Floor of the House, we must look at its adoption at the committee. When you look at the last page of the Report, out of 18 members, only nine have signed the adoption of this Report. In terms of percentage, it is only about 50 per cent. This is to tell you that this Committee has done a shoddy job. We do not even know whether people have not signed because they were dissenting. When you look at the Executive Summary, the Committee confirms that a memorandum was submitted, but not in line with the SRC Act. This is because an affidavit, as far as we know, must be on oath. So, it was sent back. Therefore, you cannot come and claim that the lady by the name Nelly Peris Ashubwe, had a memorandum presented against her, and yet the memorandum The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
