    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. All that the Committee says is that it did not find her--- She lacks the level of knowledge and expertise required for the position of a member of the Commission. One wonders where expertise is required, because the Constitution requires knowledge in financial matters. I want to urge the House to support the amendment. This lady is eminently qualified and the Committee’s work was not to interview. There is a difference between interview and vetting. Interview is where you check qualifications for the job. Vetting is a background check of the moral probity generally of the person you are vetting. The Committee is not saying that the lady is morally unfit. It is saying that she is not qualified, whereas her qualifications, as stipulated in the Constitution, clearly show she is qualified. This is a question of using a different and discriminatory standard on a lady who is eminently qualified. I want to plead with the House that as we support the Report of this Committee, subject to this amendment, we agree to restore the name of Amina Ahmed to this Commission as a nominee of NARC(K). I beg to move. I will be seconded by Mr. Affey."
