"content": "defeating and futile for a parliamentary Committee to write to the DCI asking if a person meets the standards of integrity and ethics. The DCI has no capacity in terms of human resources and databases to make that determination. They can hardly keep up with the number of criminal cases and investigations already in their hands. We are now adding them another job of interrogating specific individuals. We have systems and institutions which will catch up with these nominees at the appointed time. Even if we approve them for these positions, it is not the end. At a later date, should they be found to lack integrity, there is process for removal from office, but we should not put the cart before the horse. With those few pointers that I have noted… Lastly, instead of writing to the DCI to make a subjective decision, you simply asked the nominees to submit a certificate of good conduct, which shows they have no criminal record. It is as simple as that. Let us stick to the processes which already exist. If we are not satisfied with them, it is very simple: This House has the power and mandate to legislate various laws and regulations. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. With those few remarks, I support."
