The Constitution Review Consultative Committee (CRCC) has called for significant reforms in the appointment process of heads of independent constitutional bodies.
In a recent statement, the committee bemoaned the necessity for increased transparency to enhance the credibility of these appointments and prevent political interference.
The CRCC proposed a structured process that would ensure only qualified individuals are eligible to apply for these key positions.
Meanwhile, this process would involve rigorous vetting, interviews, and a shortlist of candidates, designed to promote integrity and trust in the selection process.
Clara Kasser-Tee, the Chairperson of the CRCC, stressed the importance of these recommendations, stating that a more transparent appointment process is critical for the functioning of independent bodies.
