    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support Hon. Cheptumo’s amendment. It is, indeed, positive. It does not negate the President’s proposal at all and a simple majority will work out. We do not need to re- state what is stated in the Constitution. I request Members who are here to support the amendment. As my colleagues have clearly put it, the role of SRC is clear in the Constitution while the role of the Parliamentary Service Commission is to ensure effectiveness and efficiency of Parliament. There are some other jurisdictions that we can try to benchmark. The SRC is just there for advisory purposes. Because of the unique aspect of Parliament, Parliamentary Service Commission is the one in a better position to ensure that there is effectiveness and efficiency. As I said earlier, that deletion does not negate at all, it adds value. So, we are leaving it as it is outlined in the Constitution."
