    "content": "Having said that, the reason why I am supporting this amendment is that there is an emerging trend from a governance perspective and I have seen it in a lot of the Bills that are here. The Cabinet Secretaries are taking a lot of authority upon themselves and they do not want any other bodies that they are answerable to. They want to be the appointing authority and they do not want independent bodies bringing persons to the boards that are under their ministries. That is a very dangerous trend. The way we have moved, from a human rights perspective to ensure that there is effective governance by a wider sector of representation in the society, is the way we should go. Therefore, I support."
