"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, the TARDA Act empowers the Minister for Regional Development, who is me, to appoint a Managing Director even without any advertisement. Therefore, any regulations that the hon. Member has quoted are not in the law. Secondly, I do not have to advertise. I can even appoint you tomorrow because the law is very clear here. Thirdly, what the hon. Member has said is not true. What happened in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at that time happened before Mr. Agoya was appointed. I have the report which I can give to the House. Therefore, those events are only being connected because the person they wanted was not appointed. When I am given three names, it is not my responsibility to go round looking at how many marks each one of them scored. It is not a classroom. They are not supposed to give marks. They are supposed to recommend three names and the Minister is supposed to appoint one out of the three candidates. That is what the law says."
