    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I just wanted to re-emphasise what Sen. Methu has said. We should maintain the qualifications of the Chief Government Valuer with experience of 15 years because these are professional lines. As a country, we want to encourage people who will oversee the valuation process having worked through the ranks in the valuation profession. In our systems, sometimes we had people who would scale the heights from District Officers (DOs) as they were in the former Constitution. They became District Commissioners (DCs), Provincial Commissioners (PCs) and then move to the national level. It was not for nothing that they scaled those heights. It was because they would have accumulated experience above everybody else to oversee those offices. I support this because we must protect and preserve certain professions. I have worked in the county. Governors come in with their people who do not even have backgrounds in whatever they are hired to do. However, since they want them to oversee certain departments like procurement, somebody can even take a transport officer and make them director of procurement. It is because they want them to do what they want. Such people have been the reason there is no professionalism in certain departments. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
