    "content": "on the “Basis for Committee Recommendations for Vacation of Office” are replicated both at the beginning and at the end of the Report. Hon. Members, in summary, it is, therefore, my considered finding: 1) THAT, a question on the constitutionality or otherwise of business ought not to be left to a vote by the House or addressed by an amendment which is also subject to a vote, but should be addressed by the Speaker once raised at any point. 2) THAT, the mandate of the House to review the conduct in office of a member of a constitutional commission or a holder of an independent office may only be exercised in accordance with Article 251 of the Constitution when it considers a petition duly filed for the removal of the affected State officer. 3) THAT, a finding or recommendation by the Public Accounts Committee in the Report tabled before the House which expressly falls outside the mandate of the Committee, or one that offends the provisions of Articles 47 or 251 and Section 10 of the IEBC Act, 2011, would be inadmissible. 4) THAT, the words “To that end, the Commissioners, Chief Executive Officer and the Directors who were involved in the unlawful procurement should vacate office immediately upon adoption of this Report to allow for much needed reforms to be effected to restore public confidence in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission” in General Recommendation No.3 appearing on pages 4 and 127 of the Report, in so far as it relates to the IEBC commissioners, are inadmissible"
