    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, on behalf of the Member for Kikuyu, Hon. Ichung’wah, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by- (ii) inserting the following new Clause 37A immediately after Clause 37- Protection from 37A (1) No matter or thing done by a member of the Board or personal liability any officer, employee or agent of the Board shall, if the matter or thing is done bona fide for executing the functions, powers or duties of the Board, render the member, officer, employee or agent or any person acting under the directions personally liable to any action, claim or demand whatsoever. (2) The provisions of subsection (1) shall not relieve the Board of the liability to pay lawful compensation or damages to any person for injury to the person or property. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the import of this clause is to make sure that we protect individual members of the Board from personal liability. This is in line with corporate governance practice where as an individual you might not be held responsible for some of the decisions which have been made. The Board is collectively held responsible. This is the essence of this insertion."
