In Clause 10(i) I am seeking to delete the word “convene”. It says that the Cabinet Secretary shall within 14 days of the occurrence of a vacancy, convene a selection panel. So, I am saying we delete the word “convene” and replace it with the word “appoint” a selection panel for the purposes of selecting; it is not just convening a panel because it is not transparent or open. Then in Clause 10(ii) I wish to amend to include an organization dealing with children’s rights because education is about children. In Clause 10(8) by renumbering the clause as Clause 10(8)(i) and inserting a new sub-clause (2), that is where there is rejection of nominees, there should be given a reason for the rejection. Those are my amendments to Clause 10."}
