    "content": "I can mention many other things including that the Secretary to the Commission should be appointed by the commission. In our case, it is clearly defined in the Constitution and you cannot change it. The other thing that I wanted to mention about this Commission is that if you follow Article 251 of the Constitution, it is clear there will be a petition which will be considered by the National Assembly and having been satisfied with the position, will pass it and then the President shall appoint a tribunal. The President, in case of the PSC, does not appoint the commissioners. The commissioners where the President’s appointment is required are the ones supposed to follow the provisions of Article 251 of the Constitution. This Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) is a functional Parliament entirely. Actually, these are the people who fight for the welfare of the Members of Parliament (MPs). These are trade unionists. You are actually chairing a trade union for these MPs; that is your basic role."
