    "content": "(b) deleting the proposed amendment to section 7 and substituting therefor the following new amendments to section 7— s.7 Insert the words 'if the chairperson or the member' immediately after the word 'vacant' in subsection (1) Delete the words 'if the member' appearing immediately before the word ‘resigns’ in paragraph (a) Delete subsection (2) The justification is that the Bill has proposed a miscellaneous amendment to section 5(2) to the effect that members of the council in paragraph (f) and (g) be appointed by the Cabinet Secretary and not through a selection panel. The Bill thus also proposes to delete subsection (3). The Committee supports the proposal for appointment to be by the CS for efficiency and to reduce bureaucracy, but further proposes to restructure the composition of the board by replacing the nominee of Kenya National Parents Association with two nominees each from Kenya Primary School Heads Association and the Kenya Secondary School Heads Association. This is owing to the fact that it is unclear how the nominee of the parents association is nominated and the head teachers of primary and secondary schools might be better suited to deal with curriculum matters as they are implementers of the curriculum in schools. The director of the Institute remains as an ex-officio member. The Bill has proposed a miscellaneous amendment to section 7 which is a grammatical correction. The Committee agrees with the proposed amendment but notes that despite the proposed correction, a grammatical error still exists. The proposal by the Committee is therefore to take care of the grammatical mistake."
