    "content": "If we look at research in the academic field, we will realise that there is no provision that stops anybody within the military to pursue a PhD in whatever area of specialisation. We already know that there are members of the military who teach in academic institutions. We should provide for research, development and policy. We cannot say that we have specialised industries, like in equipment manufacturing in this country. There is standardised procedure in the manufacture of weapons in our ordinance factory. When there is a requirement for expertise and highly technical training, it is provided for outside the country. This opens a Pandora’s box and creates another institution that takes care of that. This completely goes against the core mandate of the KDF. I recommend that the Member withdraws his amendment."
