    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you look at the proposed amendment by my good friend, Eng. Gumbo, he wants all that to be deleted and then replaced simply with the words “as knowledge and experience of at least five years in public administration, human rights and governance.” If we do so, then we will not actually set out qualifications as required by the Constitution because public administration in and of its own, is not a qualification. The same applies to human rights and governance. Therefore, we are required to produce somebody who, at least, knows Law. Public Administration is clearly covered. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to persuade my good friend, Eng. Gumbo, to see that public administration is already included in the Bill. Human rights is also included as “(v)”. Government is included in “vi” at page 363. I would like to submit without fear - because there are political scientists sitting here - that Government includes governance. You cannot study Government and not learn governance. Therefore, I would humbly and very firmly suggest that the Bill should be left the way it is. I would also like to agree with the Attorney-General because we are required to spell out the qualifications and the qualifications Eng. Gumbo is bringing forth are already covered in Clause 7(1)(c)."
