Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, because I know we are moving section by section, my proposed amendment to paragraph 3(a) was that: “On the recommendation of the Inspector-General and approval of the Cabinet Secretary, develop and keep under review all matters relating to human resource policies of all members of the service.” Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, that actually limits the work of the Commission. It is the Inspector-General who recommends, the Cabinet Secretary approves, then the Commission does its work. Really then, what is the work of the Commission? My understanding, after I have consulted with the Chair, is that he ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if he provides the way he has provided the amendment, then I am comfortable. My worry is if you say, “on the recommendation of the Inspector-General and the approval of the Cabinet”. So, if it is removing the Cabinet, I am saying that there is consultation. I have no problem with consultation with the Inspector-General who is also still a member of the Commission.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for me it is not a question of Jubilee or CORD. We have been in this House for a very long time, even the hon. Member. When a Member gives his word, really it is very unfortunate. I do not know what is becoming of this House. I have dropped my amendment because the Member said--- We had agreed and he had even said it on the HANSARD. I do not think it is in order for Members to move this way. We have always agreed. I think they need to go and see ole Metito. ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 be amended in sub-clause(3)- (b) by deleting paragraph c. I propose that we delete that amendment. The reason is that the amendment is trying to delete (j) which provides that the Commission needs to ensure that the Service is sufficient and effective. Really, I do not know why we would not want to have a Service that is efficient and effective. Because of that, I propose that we delete it.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am very happy, whether it is defeated or not, I will be on record that I proposed that we delete that amendment because it is seeking to limit the powers of the Commission only on disciplinary matters, transfers and promotions. The Constitution does not limit the mandate and what we are doing is unconstitutional. I proudly oppose.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have not opposed my amendment. What I have opposed is what is provided in the Bill. That is why I am proposing a deletion by opposing.
