    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the amendment Clause 13(a) is appreciated because the provision in the Bill is too restrictive. It replaces ‘enter into association with’ with ‘collaborate.’ ‘Going into association’ is different and may be too difficult. That is an amendment that I support, just like the other amendments. However, I am worried about some additional amendments which ought to be in Clause 13 and which I want to submit to the House and the Mover for consideration. This is to Clause 13(c), which is still being retained, that says: ‘receive any grants, gifts, donations or endowments and make legitimate disbursements from’. There are some restrictions under Chapter 6 of the Constitution about what gifts can be received and to what amount. There is a law on that. On opening bank accounts for the funds of the Authority, is this provision necessary, more so in an Act of Parliament? This can be done maybe in a schedule or regulations; it is administrative. On a statement like: ‘establish such committees as it may consider’, that can be in the Act. As I support the amendments by the Chairman, I would request him that in the spirit of moving forward, he considers making those additional amendments to paragraphs (c) and (d). They may not only be superfluous but also open to corrupt practices."
