    "content": "(ii) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph “e” — “(f) engaging in active politics”. (b) by deleting sub-clause (4) and substituting therefor the following new Sub-clause— “(4) The National Assembly Committee shall, upon receiving a petition under Sub-section (2), consider the petition and may recommend that the member be suspended pending the outcome of the complaint.” Clause 17 (a) (i) is about the removal of a Board member. We are deleting where it refers to Chapter Six. We are also introducing a new sub-clause which requires a Board member to be removed for engaging in active politics. We do not want to get Board members who, in a few days down the line, are participating in politics while they are still members of the CDF Board. In the final amendment, we are deleting Clause 4 and substituting with new Clause 4. This is where the National Assembly Committee, upon receiving a petition, is given a chance to consider it. It may also recommend that a member be suspended if he participates in politics. We will be able to receive a petition and ensure that, that member is suspended. These amendments to Clause 17 are important. I request Members to support them."
