    "content": "members of the respective House— (i) the Speaker of that House shall inform the Speaker of the other House of the resolution within seven days; and (ii) the member of the Commission shall continue to perform the functions of the office pending the outcome of the proceedings under this section. (4) The procedure prescribed in sub-sections (1), (2) and (3) shall apply with the necessary modifications to the consideration of the Motion for removal of a member of the Commission by the other House. (5) If both Houses pass the motion in the same form, the member of the Commission shall stand removed. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this amendment seeks to set out the procedure for removal a member of the PSC. We observed that Article 127 of the Constitution is an exception of the application of the provisions of Chapter 15 on commissions of the Constitution on the composition, mode of appointment and the removal process of constitutional holders. The point here is that it is Parliament which appoints the members of the commission. It can only be removed by a process set out by the Commission. That is basically to divorce this from the provisions of Chapter 15 on commissions. That is basically the reason why we are proposing that amendment."
