    "content": "The justification of the amendment is that the new paragraph 1(2), (a) and (b) as noted in Clause 2 are related. The amendment in paragraph (a) proposes to delete subparagraph (h). Paragraph (h) talks about one person nominated by the Attorney-General. We wanted to increase the number of the members from the religious groups. We are deleting (f) and proposing new paragraph 1(2) by deleting the words “one person appearing in subparagraph (h) and substituting therefor the words “two persons” so that we remove the Attorney-General from providing a member for the selection panel and increase the number for the religious groups from one to two. When the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) appeared before us and we had a discussion, we felt that having one member from the religious groups would be unfair noting that the current membership of the IEBC is nominated by the religious groups. So, we felt that two was fair. We removed the Attorney-General and replaced with an additional number from religious groups. That is the essence of those two amendments."
