    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to weigh in on this matter. We are talking about the PSC. From the outset, on behalf of Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), majority of commissions in this country do not obey the rule of inclusivity when it comes to PWDs. It is good we are discussing the PSC because Members who represent PWDs have noted that such an important body must pronounce itself on where it places Members with disabilities. The composition of the PSC must also look at that issue. We cannot say that the PSC is on its own, but that the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) and the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) must comply. Having said that, if a political party appoints or nominates a Member to represent the political party on any commission, it is the prerogative and responsibility of the Member who has been appointed and given that opportunity to actually represent the political party. What is the point? We all pay allegiance to political parties and coalitions. I support that. The PSC, just like any other commission in this country, must also pronounce itself very clearly on where PWDs fall when we talk about inclusivity in this country. I beg to stop there."
