    "content": "Hon. Affey was talking about the requirement of a degree to qualify as a member of the Board and the timeline. Through regulations, we will also create timelines where a report is made, when the case will be heard and what action is going to be taken and from what time. That is pertinent. We will, definitely, come up with timelines in the regulations. My colleagues have also talked about the issue of holding a degree. Hon. Wetangula said that the Secretary for this Board should be a lawyer. Sometimes it helps to fast-track the issues which are being dealt with. We can consider some of these cases. Some Members have said that a first degree should not be a requirement, but for purposes of fast-tracking the issues which are coming in, we were thinking that with regard to holding a first degree, we will definitely come up with issues which will be tackled as and when they come in. That is why we were making such proposals that, at least, we have somebody who has a first degree to steer the Authority. It is not only in this Act, but several Acts have asked for a degree holder for the work to be easier for the rest of the other fellows."
