This Bill does not give the qualifications of the registrar. So, this is a very big omission. We would want this Bill to clearly specify the qualifications of a registrar, because he is going to be a very important person in the Board. So, we need to know that the registrar must have required qualifications. So, we will be proposing – after consultations with the stakeholders and the Ministry – what qualifications we need for this position. We also need to put in this Bill a provision that the registrar will be competitively recruited. Currently, the Bill does not indicate how the registrar will be recruited. It only says that the Minister will appoint a registrar. We need this important person to be recruited competitively."}
