    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, clause 9 of the Bill be amended – (a) by renumbering the existing provision as subsection (1); (b) by deleting the words “section 6 (1) (d), (e), (f) and (g)” and substituting therefor the words “section 7 (1) (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h)”; (c) by inserting the following new subsection immediately after subsection (1) – “(2) The persons appointed under section 7 (1) (a), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) shall be appointed at different times but not more than six months shall lapse between one appointment and the other in the case of a vacancy in the Board”. The justification is that there was an omission by the Committee and the original Bill, that provision 9 (1) (h) had not been regarded yet it was included in clause 7 on membership of the Board. This is the only correction that this amendment seeks to do. Also, clause 9 (2), gives clarity on when the appointments will be done. To avoid a situation where there will be no Board, the appointments can only be done when there is a vacancy in the Board. The proposal by the Committee, which I agree with, says that those appointments can only be done within intervals of six months. However, this can only occur when there is a vacancy. The Board is not perpetually open for appointments. This is the clarity we are seeking to bring under sub-clause 2.
