Nyikal, that he can look at Clause 5 which amends Section 53 of the main Act; down there it says: “An external loan or external government security may be executed on behalf of the Government only by the Cabinet Secretary, a delegate appointed by the Cabinet Secretary, in writing; or a borrowing agent appointed for the purposes of this Act.” So, it is clear that nobody else can borrow, except the Cabinet Secretary or somebody appointed by him in writing, or a borrowing agent, as provided for under Subclause (6)(c) – in respect of which the Committee had a problem. Therefore, as a Committee, we have an amendment to make it clear as to how the agent shall be appointed."}
