    "content": "This House determines the policy of the entire country and makes laws that govern the entire country. This House makes financial decisions that affect the entire country, but how many of us are lawyers? How many of us are financial experts? How many of us are economists like myself? Some of us do not understand what a Masters in Business Administration means. They do not know the curriculum for that. Some of us do not understand that when you do a degree in Business Education, Economics or Business Studies, a lot of financial studies are covered. A lot of background and basic economics is done. These directors are not going to be experts. We have experts in each field in each department within the CBK. Most of the 2,000 employees are experts in various areas. These nominees are supposed to offer policy direction. They assist the Governor to decide on policy. In this House, we brag to be on top of things yet we have not even been able to legislate on the minimum qualification for a Member of Parliament, for example, whether it should be a PhD. I have been a graduate lecturer. So, they are all qualified. We should thank the President who sent the names to us to have given a specific consideration to gender. You know our womenfolk have been having very poor consideration in most of these appointments. In this case, he has given them two-thirds unlike in most other cases. We should commend and encourage him to do the same in future appointments. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
