    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already explained that the rank of an inspector in the police force has a ceiling. There is a particular number of officers that we are supposed to have and it cannot be exceeded. Those positions are filled according to the existing vacancies. Secondly, graduates who are recruited as constables start at Job Group \"J\" whereas the other constables start at Job Group \"F\". So they already start at a higher level than the other ordinary constables and, therefore, earn higher salaries than the other ordinary constables. Besides, the police force advertises vacancies of cadets and constables and it is up to the graduates to decide which position they want to apply for. Once they apply for the position of constable, they are to follow the normal procedures of promotion. You cannot be promoted just because you have a degree when you joined the force. You will be looked at; as to whether you are capable of becoming a police inspector. You cannot just be promoted because you have got a degree. In any case when you applied for the job you should have gone for cadet posts which were also advertised."
