    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 7 of the Bill be amended — (a) in sub-clause (2) by deleting the word “fifteen” appearing in paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the word, “ten”; (b) in sub-clause (3) by deleting the word “ten” appearing in paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the word, “five”; and, (c) by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (5)— “(6) In appointing members under subsection (1)(e), the Cabinet Secretary shall ensure that the appointments provide equal opportunities to men, women, youth, persons with disabilities and marginalized groups; and, “(7) The Board may co-opt a person with necessary expertise as it considers necessary to assist it in discharging its duties and responsibilities.’’ The justification for this is that we all understand that technopolises are going to be superintending over emerging technologies and as such, a requirement for such extensive work experience in leadership and management which might lock out good and youthful talent. The amendment further seeks to provide certainty on the need for diversity on the composition of board members."
