    "content": "I wish to appeal to the House to approve the nomination of the said candidate. I wish to state that the candidate is very qualified. He served in the former National Police Force now the National Police Service as a police cadet from 1985 and rose up to the level of Senior Superintendent of Police; an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD). He then joined the then Special Branch or the National Intelligence Service (NIS) where he rose up to the level of Assistant Director. He has also served in the Diplomatic Service for many years. He has 31 years of experience. For those of us who know how the police force operates, if he joined as a cadet officer in 1985, he would now be in the position of Senior Deputy Commissioner of Police, the equivalent of the Deputy Inspector-General. If you had stayed in the force for that duration of time, you would be somewhere there. The candidate has undergone several professional courses, many of them, as you will see in the Curriculum Vitae (CVs), in the diplomatic service, in the National Security Intelligence, and also in the police force. On the issue of qualifications, the candidate takes the box. The candidate has a first degree from the University of Washington and when we sat as a Committee, a lot of issues came up and some said the University is not recognized in the United States of America (USA). But after a thorough investigations - and Members can Google - you will discover that, that University is a member of the prestigious International Council for Adult Education in the USA, and it is a full member of the Council for Adult Education and experimental learning in the USA. The programmes of the University are based on the Government of the USA regulations Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) Section 214(2). The University is, therefore, a credible institution governed by the laws of the USA which ensures stringent supervision of the academic programmes and the degree is guaranteed by the Government of the USA."
