    "content": "On moving from the three-year to a five-year term, I am not sure what the obsession with three years was. It was three years renewable adding up to six years, hoping that if one does not deliver, they are removed. We have gone for five years, but there are provisos. If one does not deliver, there is a mechanism for removal. It is not automatic that one will serve the entire five years, but it gives a certain predictability in terms of what one wants to achieve, namely, some visioning. That way, one can be held to account for a longer period of time on what one has done. A new DG should not come in and say that he found the roads in position and then three years down the line, he is unable to implement systems and changes! He would then be assessed based on what he found. Unfortunately, would be told that his term cannot be renewed! A five-year term would give a DG more time to do a proper evaluation of the inputs without reference to the person they are succeeding. So, I am in total agreement with that. I hope we will succeed. We will support the Chair when this matter comes in the Committee of the whole House, so that we clean up that bit."
