"content": "they are the most corrupt? It could be true or not. Having said that, if for sure we are so into appointing ex-military people into these positions, we should go back to the basics and have our young men after they have gone through O-level education, go through some military training so that we bring up people of integrity who will be corrupt-free and make it easy for the arms that are entrusted with the fight against corruption. We are breeding so many young men through a corrupt system and assume that a body like the EACC will root out that culture. That defeats the very purpose of forming that body. We are supposed to be dealing with a small population of corrupt individuals but now, corruption seems to be so entrenched even in our voters down there in our villages. You can tell that the people we ask for votes from are so corrupt because they want you to give them handouts for them to vote for you. As much as we want to believe that appointing Major Twalib to this position will be the end of corruption, that could be far from the truth! However, we must first appoint him, but we must also continue with this debate. What is it that we need to do so that we root out corruption completely from this country? Finally, I congratulate this gentleman because he is a great patriot. From the Report, I can tell that the Committee found him to be a man of integrity and that is the kind of generation that we want to breed. I support this Motion."
