    "content": "I do not think it is the business of this House to be supporting illegalities. We should be on the forefront in ensuring that the rule of law is adhered to by everybody in this country. We adopted the new Constitution and said that we must take care of vulnerable groups in our society, and more so people with disabilities. We now got an opportunity to do exactly that. As a country, we have done a lot of deservice to this particular group. If a list that has been submitted to this House contains a name of a person with disability, it is only fair that we consider such person. So, while I sympathise with those people who are qualified, and who have no issues, I am afraid that if we say that we should approve them, we will completely be forgetting the people with disabilities. Hon. Deputy Speaker, again, adopting a list containing the name of a person who emerged last in the interviews would be promoting incompetence in Government institutions. As a person who has passion for education, being a lawyer; I have had serious challenges with the TSC. They are known to countenance and support people who are incompetent in the profession. We can see why the education standards in this country are going down. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
