    "content": "Hon. Members, I will now turn to the third issue requiring my response which is: Whether a Member who declares conflict of interest that directly touches on a nominee for appointment into a public office can take part in the process of vetting before the relevant committee or the House. You may wish to note that one of the roles of the National Assembly is to oversee State organs. It is, therefore, my finding that such Members should rely on their conscience, and may participate during the vetting hearing, but he or she should not take part in voting, pursuant to the provisions of Article 122(3) of the Constitution. What if the interest declared includes personal or business relationships with the candidate undergoing vetting in a committee? In such a case, it is my finding that such a Member should not only be disallowed from voting in the committee and the House, but should also recuse himself or herself during the vetting hearings and approval debate in the particular committee and in the House."
