"content": "Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have a lot of respect for Hon. Mwaita, but we have done this for very many Bills in this Assembly. It would probably be good because everybody wants their profession to be represented and we are creating specific institutions to carry out specific functions. We are talking about appointing a chairman. Why do we want to open it up? Why do we not just say that this is a specialized area and, therefore, the board should be chaired by a specialized person? I am a lawyer. I agree that somebody may want a lawyer to chair something, but why should lawyers want to chair everything? I want to convince the Chair of the Departmental Committee that this is a very specialized area. Why does he want to open it up for anybody with any professional qualification to be able to chair the board? We should be looking for specific qualifications."
