Paragraph 36
 

This procedure does not allow candidates from the opposition to be appointed to the commission nor does it provide the members of the commission to be politically independent. Consideration could be given to amending the law to provide for the members to be nominated by political parties in a balanced manner. The same suggestions are applicable to the staff members. No consent of the President or the Parliament should be needed.
