"content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is with a heavy heart that I comment on this. I really do not like discussions that tend to look at people in terms of their ethnic backgrounds. It is not good for the country, but it is better to look at the technical qualifications of people. Even the issue of marginalisation should not come up. When you are dealing with a technical issue, being marginalised cannot give you technical capability. You cannot say you are going to operate on me just because you are marginalised. You have to be a surgeon. I am not happy because all these people with the exception of probably No.1, have been technical people. The most senior person who rose through the ranks was Madam Dzombo, to the level of Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development. This was very appropriate because her qualifications are in Social Science and she rose in the public service. This is perfectly appropriate. None of these people except No.1 is a finance person. All of them are economists."
