    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity this morning to contribute to this Motion for the nomination of PS for the State Department of Correctional Services. I have not met this nominee, Micah Powon, but from the way the Report has been put by the Committee Chair, I believe the Committee went through each and every detail of this particular nominee. They came up with a voluminous report, which I believe they have perused and seen that he qualifies. After looking at it, I also agree that he qualifies for the same. He is well versed in agriculture and he is going to a department in the government where we have many people who, if they are well utilised and if he puts his expertise into proper action, we can do a lot of work, especially in utilising the prisons’ land which usually lie without any development. We can use them to produce food and sustain not only the prisons but even this country. Also, let me take this opportunity to thank the President for deciding to put this department under one PS. This is because the Prisons Department is quite large. It has a big population and many tasks. Apart from trying to make use of those prisoners, it also has the task of trying to correct these citizens so that when they come out of prison, they can fit into the society and stop their weird ways which made them go to prison. I believe that Micah Powon will go an extra mile and see that the Prisons Department is well taken care of. Things like congestion, poor living standards and many other vices which we find in prisons should be got rid of. Otherwise, I wish him all the best of luck in that department. I support."
