    "content": " Yes. First, I appreciate that the Cabinet Secretary has indicated that, in specific cases, they can provide waivers for academic qualifications for marginalised regions. Many times, getting qualified individuals is a challenge. There was a case in that particular constituency where it was hard to get a person qualified to be a chief. Now that the Cabinet Secretary has made a commitment, I hope there will be action. I appreciate that you have indicated that residents in a particular region should be nominated to be chiefs and assistant chiefs because they understand those areas. You have also noted that there is a review of the scheme of service to consider marginalised regions because of their circumstances. In all of those cases, you have been positive about the questions. On Question 6/2025, I am not satisfied with the answers. It has been two months, and you indicate that the investigation is ongoing. You have also stated that there was a shootout between bandits and the police. You have not indicated how many bandits were shot. Mr Ptesio Chepanda is one of the leaders spearheading peaceful coexistence in that region. He has been one of the support systems in that community for peace and to weed-off bandits. Two months down the line, you have not been able to establish the cows that were shot. It is extremely unsatisfactory. If, indeed, the investigation is still ongoing, can it be expedited so that Mr Chepanda gets his due justice? Thank you."
