    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this amendment. It is a small and straightforward amendment but it has far reaching implications. The 29 officers who have not been vetted must have gone through a lot of stress and anxiety. They have also lost opportunities. How are they going to be compensated? If someone is to work optimally in any work environment, there must be a conducive working environment. So, you can imagine the stress those officers go through. Maybe some of the judgements they made had mistakes. So, the opportunity cost had far reaching implications. Coming back to the main issue here, it is indeed important that we extend this timeframe so that these people can be vetted accordingly. You can imagine the lost opportunities of promotion. This is because the requirement is you must be vetted before you are promoted. Indeed these officers have really suffered. However, my message to the Vetting Board is that we also need to know if it was delayed for purposes of continuing to gain income or for purposes of having that job. We need to know that because this thing of coming up with a timeframe did not just come from nowhere. You The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
