a D or D+, you start from a certificate course then you upgrade. In the long-run, you can even obtain your PhD degree. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we saw recently what the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) put in place. They want many law makers to be university graduates. This adds a lot of value. The role of a legislator is to make laws, represent and oversee. Of course, when it comes to representation, you can represent. But when it comes to legislation, it is, indeed, important that we support the idea, so that all legislators, if it works, ...

Hon. Chairlady, I support the amendment. Saying that we are trying to integrate the boards is on a need basis. It will not just be done haphazardly, and I want the hon. Member to get to know that. Looking at the Mineral Rights Board, as clearly outlined by the Departmental Committee Chair, if you do a cost-benefit analysis, you will find that there is merit. Hon. Abdalla is in order and, therefore, we support this amendment, as opposed to what hon. Bowen has said. His opposition is due to ignorance – just because the Jubilee Government is integrating parastatals. These ...
