    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand also to air my views in opposing this report. This is not common with my conduct of business in the House. However, when I look at this report, I find for once, the Executive has acted within the guidelines stipulated in the law. I do not find anywhere in the report where the State Corporations guidelines or the law being broken. Therefore, there is clear indication that the Executive and the Minister followed the correct procedure in advertising this position. Interviews were done and consultations with the Board were held as the procedure stipulates. Therefore, the Minister appointed the Managing Director within the law. Allow me to indicate that if there are any shortcomings in the law with regard to the appointment of chief executives of parastatals and, in particular the KAA, then we need, as Parliament, to come up with proposals for amendment of the law and do not base our recommendations in our reports on any other issues. Allow me to talk about the five days. If the five day period of the advertisement was good enough to attract over 150 candidates and this is not stipulated in the law, then, even if the period was one day, it does not affect the procedure. The procedure was followed and the appointment, according to my position, was procedural."
