Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 16 be amended- (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the word “Parliament” and substituting therefor the words “National Assembly”. (b) in sub-clause (5) by deleting the words “where the Commission does not intend to re-appoint the Secretary.”

This is because “Parliament” means both Houses of Parliament. It will be extremely onerous for both Houses to vet the Secretary; so we amend it by deleting “Parliament” and substituting therefor “National Assembly;” in sub-clause 5 we delete “where the Commission does not intend to reappoint the Secretary” because in the sub- section before, the Commission Secretary has one term of six years and so there is no reappointment.

THAT, Clause 17 be amended by deleting Subclauses (3), (4), (5) and (6). I will seek your indulgence to clarify this. The Secretary to the Commission is an employee of the Commission. This section purports to give the Secretary security of tenure by purporting to indicate that in the event that the Secretaries be fired, there will be a tribunal set up by the Chief Justice. That is a very onerous process. There is actually no need for it. In any event, the Commission hires and fires. It is a constitutional process.

It deals with the appointment of Deputy Secretary. This is again linking this process to the former Commission which had Deputy Directors. This is a Commission. All the Bills we have handled deal with the Secretaries, the rest is for the Commission. I do not think we should over-legislate. We should let the Commission handle its work.
