    "content": "President declares vacancies available, they are supposed to forward names within a timeframe. The current law is open-ended. What we have done in this amendment is to provide for seven days so that if a vacancy is declared today, they will have seven days within which to forward the name of the person to sit in the selection panel. That is for clarity purposes and also to save on time otherwise, we will have an open-ended timeframe. Somebody can take a month and there will be no conclusion. This is important noting that we have had only three commissioners for over a year. I think it is becoming a bit unfair and untenable in the circumstances. So, we have said it will be seven days, within which those institutions should forward the names. As I said earlier, there currently exists four vacancies and we have three commissioners."
