It may be that the outcome will not be the same. However, we are talking about transparency and procedures. The Minister used a scenario in which the board could not recommend anyone, the Government said all the recommendations were brutal but had a person in mind and appointed that person. What is wrong with informing the individual that the job would be re-advertised, he or she could apply for it, the commission would then decide on it and it would then go back to the Government. We want to set up a commission which evaluates and scrutinises this in a fair and transparent manner. I think that is the best of doing it.
