The Committee noted that section 193 of the Constitution currently requires that the Public Protector, the Auditor-General and the members of any Commission established in terms of Chapter 9 must inter alia be "fit and proper persons to hold the particular office" and must comply with any other requirements prescribed by national legislation. Furthermore, section 194 provides that Commissioners may only be removed from office on the grounds of misconduct, incompetence or incapacity, on a finding to that effect by committee of the National Assembly and the adoption of an Assembly resolution calling for that person's removal. The Committee noted that these measures were designed to protect the independence of commissioners and the Chapter 9 Institutions.
