    "content": "Finally, I would like to speak to Clause 7 and in particular I was pleased to see that as we look at the qualifications for appointment as a trustee in this Bill, we are making specific reference to Chapter Six of the Constitution. We are saying that we would like to ensure that the person is someone that would meet the requirement that is spelt in Chapter Six. Whereas we are quite clear that a number of challenges that we experience when we bring not only this kind of programme in place usually emanate from the lack of integrity, I believe in a Bill, we would specifically mention Chapter Six and say that we would want to look at this with regard to leadership and integrity. It is, indeed, a very commendable thing. Only yesterday, I was speaking to one of the retired journalist who was particularly concerned and pained that as we talk about issues of corruption and leadership in our country, we seem to have come to a situation where we glorify corruption and demonise honesty. Those were his words. When we are talking about leadership and when we are at the point where we are coming up with the Bill, it is, indeed, extremely commendable that not only are we specifying in terms of qualifications, competence and skills, but we are specifically making reference to Chapter Six of the Constitution."
