• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the reason why we put this amendment in that fashion is because part of the mandate of the old Commission was to set up a proper secretariat. In moving to the new institution, we have transited quite a number of issues under the Bill. However, nothing had been mentioned about the staff. It is not to ensure that people get their jobs immediately. We are just looking at how we can transit. view
