    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 18 of the Bill be amended─ a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following paragraph “(b) has at least ten years’ experience in public affairs and management”. b) In sub-clause (3) by deleting the word “five” appearing after the words “term of” and substituting therefor the word “four”. The reason why we are saying this is that what is contained in the Bill is too limiting. We are saying that person must be experienced in matters of registration. What you are doing is that you are just ensuring that it must be a person who must have worked in the Attorney-General’s Office who can only be appointed as a Registrar-General. Therefore, we are tailor-making a position for a particular person who has worked in the Attorney-General’s office. We are expanding this requirement so that the person should have experience in public affairs and management. The other thing we are seeking to do is to reduce the limitation of the term from five to four years to ensure that there is efficiency in management so that people do not overstay in office. Five years is too long considering that there is an opportunity for a further five-year non-renewable term. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
