    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I second. In the vetting exercise we did as the Departmental Committee of Administration and National Security, we found all the nominees were quite qualified in line with the Constitution and the Public Service Commission Act, No.10. In terms of experience, all of them had good grounding public service experience in various institutions. As the Chair has pointed out, in future when vetting public officers, we should ensure that the list of all those appointees to the various commissions in Chapter 15 and other independent offices in the Constitution is based on the provisions of Article 250(4). This provision requires that a vetting exercise of this kind should consider in totality the appointments in all commissions. Therefore, it is important in future, when we have the full list, to look at regional and ethnic balance properly. However, as it stands, looking at the qualifications in terms of the requirements of the Constitution, the Act and experience; the Members listed met the requirements and we recommend this House to approve their appointments accordingly. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second."
