"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for getting my names right in the order in which they should be pronounced. I only have two minutes. It is, indeed, a bad spectacle so see the Chairman and Vice-Chairman disagreeing on a report without having the minority report. This shows that there could have been no unanimity. However, my concern is paragraph 35. It is important to bear it in mind. It says that:- “In the circumstances, the Committee unanimously agreed that it would consider the following criteria for purposes of shortlisting exercise.” Criterion No.2 says:- “Whether the applicant has knowledge and at least 10 years’ experience.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are Members who are experienced with this process. There were 80 applicants and who were shortlisted to 42. Normally, when shortlisting, the first thing to consider is whether they have the requisite qualifications as advertised."
