    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second. As a Member of the Committee on Appointments, a lot has been said by the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party and I do not wish to repeat. This is to clarify that the vetting was done in line with the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. As time goes by, we need to amend that Act so that it is a bit more comprehensive. When you look at the Act, there is the criterion that we use as far as vetting is concerned. There is academic qualifications, employment records, potential conflict of interest, and the knowledge of the relevant subject, the overall suitability for that position, matters of integrity, vision, leadership, expectations and key priorities. As a Committee, we noted that all the seven nominees qualify. We are humbly requesting this House to approve that these nominees qualify as per the Act.
