    "content": "Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have interest and support that amendment. Initially, if you looked at the principal amendment, it was not clear. If you say: “The CS may where appropriate and in writing delegate any power or assign any duty conferred on him or her under this Act---” The question that begs is, to whom? This is because you cannot delegate power in a vacuum. So that you do not create that vacuum whether you delegate to generals or whoever, we are now saying: “To an employee of the Ministry”. I think that now brings clarity, It also means that civilian authority is more powerful than military authority as it is provided for in the Constitution. So, it makes it very clear and specific to whom the power is being delegated."
