    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 36 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)- (c) inserting the following new subsections immediately after subsection (2) – (3) The Cabinet Secretary shall not appoint a person as an authorized officer under this Act if the person - (a) has, within the last five years, been convicted of an offence under this Act or any other law dealing with alcohol or drug abuse regulation and has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment exceeding six months; or (b) is a shareholder or assignee of an outlet that sells or manufactures alcoholic drinks. (4) A person proposed for appointment as an authorized officer under subsection (1) shall, before accepting the appointment, make a full disclosure to the Cabinet Secretary of any information under subsection (3). The import of this is that the Committee wanted to ensure the right of the person as an authorizing officer. The Committee proposes that a person should not be appointed as an officer if within the last five years he or she has been convicted of an offence under any other law dealing with alcohol or drug abuse regulation and has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment exceeding six months. He should not also be a shareholder or an assignee of an outlet that sells or manufactures alcohol."
