    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, clearly, from the answer given by the Assistant Minister, it is quite obvious that a number of Government departments and Government Ministries, particularly the Office of the President, have no respect for the constitutional requirement as not only to gender, but as to other considerations that are set out in it, particularly the requirement that the youth be facilitated to take positions in public office. Given that this Ministry has clearly shown by conduct in and outside the House that they are not quite ready to respect constitutional provisions, would I be in order to request that this matter be further interrogated by the committee on equal opportunity where the Assistant Minister can be subjected to questions on whether or not these candidates can actually come and be interviewed, so that we can find out whether, indeed, the selection panel bore in mind the provisions in the Constitution? The Assistant Minister himself has said that he does not even have full information. Is it in order that this matter goes to that Committee where it can be interrogated further on behalf of the House, and then we can get a report as to how this Government is applying the principles of the Constitution, which they do not appear keen on?"
