    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am getting concerned about these deletions. It is not because they are not relevant, but they are very sweeping to the point that even if you were to remove the roles that had been given to a CEO or a Board, some of these provisions are very good even in the spirit of transparency and accountability. We have just passed a Fund which is supposed to be managed by a Principal Secretary (PS) without any committee. I did not see that Fund being domiciled within the Directorate of Climate Change. If you look at the provisions that we are just about to delete, yes, indeed, some of them would specifically be relevant to a statutory body. However, some of these provisions are also very good in terms of ensuring that this Council--- Despite the fact that it is having representation from the Presidency, Cabinet Secretary (CS) and civil society, it is also open to the public in terms of its operations. I fear it is a lofty body that is just up there but operating in an opaque manner and is not accessible. Some of these provisions help in terms of accessibility of information and interaction between the Council and the public."
