    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 62 be amended by deleting subclause (b) and substituting therefor the following new subsection (1)- (1A) A person shall be qualified for appointment- (a) under subsection (1)(a) or (c), if the person is registered as an accountant under the Accountants Act; or, (b) under subsection (1)(b), if such a person has an advanced degree and professional experience in- (a) economics; (b) public finance; (c) public policy; (d) management; or, (e) accounting. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is an amendment of Section 9 of the Government Financial Management Act. The Bill is proposing to open the scope of qualifications for the Director of Budget Supplies. The amendment combines the sections related to the Accountant-General as well as the Director of Budget Supplies. It basically gives the qualifications for the Director of Budget Supplies and those of the Accountant-General. It is clarifying the specific qualifications of the two people to correct an inadvertent error that was made at the point of drafting. The two were bundled together yet they have different qualifications. It is a straight forward administrative amendment."
