I move amendment No. 86e:

In page 28, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:

“Function of Attorney General under Article 30 of Constitution

41. Nothing in this Act affects, limits or inhibits the function of the Attorney General under Article 30 of the Constitution to freely advise the members of the Government at a meeting thereof in relation to the suitability for appointment to any judicial office of any person whether or not such person has been recommended by the Commission to the Government in respect of any judicial appointment.”.
