    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am not opposing hon. Keynan’s amendment. I am actually improving. If you look at 10(1) and (2), it already gives the conditions under which the Director-General can leave office. These conditions are; a violation of the Constitution, gross misconduct, if he is convicted of an offence and sentenced to imprisonment for a term of six years (d) physical and mental incapacity (e) incompetence (f) bankruptcy. If we have these conditions and first of all we have already agreed that you will be vetted by Parliament, normally, the policy has been that for all the positions vetted by Parliament, then the holders have security of tenure. After having given all these conditions for which a Director-General can be removed, then we need to remove (4) and (5), so that we can give security of tenure. We should not forget that this is not a competitive recruitment. We have agreed that the President will nominate. So, he is nominating somebody they have chemistry with. So that issue of there not being chemistry does not arise. I, therefore, beg to move."
