"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to move that the New Clause 3 of the Bill be read a Second Time. What we propose to do is to make a provision on the limitation to the state so that a person who, immediately before the commencement of this Act, held office as the Director General of the Financial Reporting Centre shall continue to hold that office as if he has been appointed under Section 25 of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act. We are also introducing a new subsection (2) so that the term of a person who continues in office under subsection (1) shall not exceed six years from the date of the second appointment. This is purely to align this sub-section with the subsection (1). The rationale is to provide for the transition of the current Director General of the FRC in light of the amendment that we have made regarding the term of office so that we do not actually dismiss this person by virtue of legislation. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": " Hon. Chair, I rise to support this amendment. The Committee has also proposed to align the term of the Director-General of the FRC with that of similar offices – like that of the Director of EACC. What happens in countries like ours is that if you are serving a two term or a term that is renewable, for example, serving a term of four years that is renewable, you get compromised in your first term because you want to be in the business of pleasing people and not doing what you ought to do. That was the basis for the decision that the CEO of the EACC should serve for one term of six years so that when one is given that office, he will work impartially without the need to please anybody for renewal of his term. Because of this office's sensitivity, it is also important that we do not abruptly end the current Director-General's term by operationalising this law. He should be allowed a two-year transition period to finish his six-year term before we embark on recruiting a new Director- General. I support that transitional clause."
