    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, this matter is weighty. When we talk of independent commissions there is a bigger meaning why they are called independent. Hon. Speaker, as you sit there remember you are the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) which is also independent. As you make your judgement, it must be objective. When you look at Article 251 of the Constitution, it has been clearly expressed that when you are removing anybody from an independent commission, it must come through a petition. That is the time this Parliament will have powers to look at the petition. If Parliament is satisfied as per Article 251, that is when we will forward it to the President to put a tribunal in place. When I was listening to my friend Hon. Wandayi, there were many issues of procurement. Such matters are about the secretariat and not about the commissioners. We must also note that the current commission came into being just six months to elections and by then procurement had already been done."
