    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second the motion led by our Chair, Hon. David Pkosing. At the outset, I want to state that, first of all, when the Bill came to the House the first time, I was opposing it simply because I was really not for the idea that the position of the DG should be held by somebody else other than engineers. Personally, I am a civil engineer by profession and I know what being a director-general of a roads body entails. When the Chairman convened a meeting once again for further consultations, we agreed. Just not to belabour on the point too much, I want to say that the position of the director-general is a civil engineering position. What does that mean? This person is the head of the roads sector in the country. It is the apex of the road sector in the country and, hence, on the position of the director-general, I think it is very important to have a person who has passed through the training in the roads sector and that cannot be anybody else other than a civil engineer. I thank the Chairman, the team and the House who gave a second chance for further discussions on this. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
