    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also take this opportunity to contribute to this Mediation Committee Report. This is one of the wonderful Reports that I have ever gone through. I must declare my interest. I am a veterinary doctor. When I see that the Director of Veterinary Services has been included in this Board, this is a wonderful thing. The Director of Veterinary Services has a very important role in this country. Indeed, there are people who look upon veterinary service as a cadre that is below and not very tough but I want to let them know that people in the veterinary profession do a wonderful job for this country. I have looked at the composition of the Board and I am very impressed. I would want to call upon the Cabinet Secretary responsible for this Ministry to appoint the right person as the Chairperson. I am very happy for the wording about the appointment of the Chairperson. It says the Chairperson will be competitively sourced and appointed by the Cabinet Secretary. I hope the CS will take this opportunity and appoint somebody who is not necessarily a tribe’s person or relative but one competent enough to handle this wonderful job. The other thing I am happy about is that the digital Jubilee Government has gone a step farther these days. Before, farmers would just go to a shop to purchase fertilizers. They did not care to know what the composition of their soil was like. Since this Government took over, they are advising farmers to take their soil for analysis so that they use the right type of fertilizer. I also happen to represent a constituency that has so many farmers. The farmers there were obsessed with the use of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP). Any time they wanted to purchase fertilizer, they went for DAP but because of that testing, farmers are using the right type of fertilizer these days. Indeed, the production has greatly improved. Otherwise, I support this Report. Thank you very much."
