Do women deserve a seat on the table?
Of course, yes. They have all it takes to sit at the highest decision-making body. Here is why. Most women never run away from responsibilities. They make sure they finish whatever they start.

What is the issue? What happened? Who did it? Why did they do it? When did they do it? The objective of any investigation is to establish facts. To find answers. To close a case, the investigator is required to…
