Eventually, we can correct that and have the Parliament Select Committee constituted as per this clause. We can also ensure that the Select Committee, because of the crucial role it will be performing, will have gender and regional balance as well. view

• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I just want to clarify on the point the Minister had raised to the fact that this is not a closed group. We still have Clause 27 which deals with the national discussion of that Constitution. It is actually Clause 27(2), which we have already passed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with your permission, if I could read it out, it states: "The Committee of Experts shall invite representations from the public, interest groups and experts on the contentious issues".

So, I wish to withdraw the entire Fourth Schedule so that the section is left open for the Committee of Experts to try and make the decision on which members of the civil society or professional organizations they will wish to bring in. view
