    THE Council of Presidential Advisers (CPA) should be bumped up from six to eight members, with the Prime Minister and the President each appointing one of the two additional members.

    This would enable the CPA to better handle its "expanded scope of work", said the Constitutional Commission set up to review the Elected Presidency.
