    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I feel what Hon. Makalu Mulu is saying. However, if you read well, you will realise that the import of the amendment is that the Board may by resolution, either generally or in a particular case, delegate to a sub-committee of the Board or to a member, officer or employee or agent of the authority, the exercise of any powers or performance of any of the functions of the Board. In normal governance, a Board sits and resolves to delegate a certain task or function to either a sub- committee of the Board or to the CEO. It is because the function will be done through a resolution made. It therefore means that what is being done is being done by the entire Board. It is not like you give a blank cheque to an officer or authority to do things. It is a specific task which must be reported back to that Board because you do it as a sub-committee or as an appendage of the Board. Therefore, I beg that we pass the amendment as it is, as proposed by the Committee."
