I want to draw your attention to Clause 14 on the removal of the Director-General from office. This is a very interesting provision that the fate of certain important office holders could be left in the hands and decision of a Cabinet Secretary. As usual, when two people work together over a period of time, sometimes issues arise. Clause 14(g), in my opinion, gives a window for the Cabinet Secretary to possibly just frustrate and remove Director-General from office. I would actually request that we delete subclause (g), because this is an open window; a blank to the Cabinet Secretary. He can justify removal from office of this person by citing anything that could be qualified as sufficient and lawful cause."}
