    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you will notice, I have not been reading and I wish you could advise the Minister to do the same. That is why these amendments are on the Order Paper. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 7 of the Bill be amended- (a) in sub-clause (2)- (i) by deleting paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the following new paragraphs- “(c) the composition of its governing body reflects regional and ethnic diversity, gender balance and representation of minorities and marginalized groups; (ca) not more than two-thirds of the members of its governing body are of the same gender”; (iii)by deleting paragraph (f) and (b) in sub-clause (3) by- (i) inserting the following new paragraph after paragraph (c)- “(ca) contravenes the provisions of Chapter Six of the Constitution”; and (ii) deleting paragraph (d). The purpose of this is to ensure that the minorities, ethnic and regional diversities and the marginalized groups are catered for. The rule of the two-thirds, according to gender, is really to satisfy that this law conforms to the provisions of the Constitution. That is similar to the further amendments as you see in Subclause 3 by inserting the new paragraph after paragraph (c) which is (c)(a) that says:- “Contravenes the provisions of Chapter 6 of the Constitution”. This is just to ensure that the integrity issues are taken care of in terms of the members of these entities."
