    "content": "Clause 11 seeks to enhance the operational independence of this Centre. It must be independent in terms of approving its terms and conditions of service and determination of its own staff by establishing--- The Centre may appoint officers necessary for the discharge. This is a very critical Centre. In fact, we must bring a further amendment that the people who will serve in this Centre must be vetted. They must be vetted because they are the custodians of a lot of information. They check on proceeds of ill-gotten wealth, corruption, terrorism and drug money. So, they must be given security of tenure and must enjoy some independence. They must be give security by our security arm of Government because the information they hold is very critical. We do not want them to lose their lives and leave their loved ones. So, Clause 11 is basically dealing with that. It is removing this institution, as a State institution, from the ambit of the State Corporation Act. It is not a normal parastatal but a very unique one. I am sure that is why this Government brought the amendment."
