    "content": "(i) by deleting paragraph (c) and substituting therefore the following new paragraph— “(c) The Principal Secretary responsible for matter relating to Industrialisation” (ii) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (c)— “(ca) the Principal Secretary responsible for National Treasury” (b) by inserting the following new subclause immediately after subclause (3) – “(4) In making appointments of members to the Board, the appointing authority shall observe the principle of gender balance. The Committee considered Clause 7 of the Bill. It proposes insertion of two subclauses. In subclause 1, we need to delete paragraph (c) and to substitute therefore with the following new paragraph: ‘The Principal Secretary responsible for matters relating to industrialisation’. The reason is that the cotton industry is under the State Department for Industry. It is, therefore, important for the Principal Secretary for Industry to be a member of the Board. On the other hand, in part (ii) of the amendment, we propose the insertion of a new paragraph immediately after paragraph (c), which is (ca), whereby we bring in the Principal Secretary responsible for National Treasury. We realised that National Treasury was not included. Therefore, the State Corporations Act provides for inclusion of the Principal Secretary of the National Treasury, so that we have a linkage with the purse-handler."
