    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to concur with my Chairman, hon. Pkosing. Initially, we had said that the Director-General can be any executive who has a degree. He does not have to be an engineer. On further consultations with stakeholders, we decided that he should be an engineer. However, the amendment that we are debating today is to safeguard somebody who is in office so that he is not removed when this Bill comes into force as an Act of Parliament. They are serving the country. They should not be removed until their term expires but that does not mean that if they are re-engaged, the term starts afresh like what happened with the CEO of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) who had served for nine years in acting capacity and when he was substantially appointed, he will serve for another six years. I support."
