    "content": "Clause 13(e) of the Bill says that the Authority shall have powers necessary or expedient for the proper performance of its functions under this Act, including to establish such committees as it may consider necessary for the performance of its functions and the exercise of its powers. It will establish other committees. A Scientific Advisory Committee is a specialised sub-committee that will inform the Authority on complex scientific matters. It is a sub-committee of the Authority but not of the Cabinet Secretary. What we have just done is clean up. Instead of the Cabinet Secretary establishing the Scientific Advisory Committee, the Board will establish it. It will look at complex matters within the Authority. It will be reporting to them every six months. It is mandatory for them to do so. There are other normal committees like the Budget and Human Resource Committees that are not subjected to anything but, the Scientific Advisory Committee has some special roles that it will be looking into. It will be advising the Board which will then advise the Cabinet Secretary."
