    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also support the amendment. I think the amendment is basically setting some standards and giving criteria so that not everybody competes for that position. We want to reduce the competition for people wanting to be in the committee. So, putting some minimum educational qualifications for people who will add value to the Committee is fair. Even now when they are not there, my committee in my constituency---- Most of them are Form Four level and above. I used that criteria because I wanted people who can also give some technical input in running the projects because the Member of Parliament is busy. He cannot be there all the time. So, really putting some educational requirement adds value rather than reducing value from what we intend to do."
