    "content": "(i) by deleting paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- (a) a chairperson who shall be appointed by the President from among persons qualified to be judges of the High Court and who have at least five years’ experience in energy and petroleum matters. (ii) by deleting the word “five” and substituting therefor the word “six” in paragraph (b); (iii) by deleting the word “Commission” and substituting therefor the word “Authority” in paragraph (b); (iv) by inserting the word “law,” immediately before the word “petroleum” in paragraph (b); (b) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (1) — (1A) The members of the Tribunal shall at the first meeting of the Tribunal elect a vice-chairperson who shall be a person qualified to be a judge of the High Court possessing at least five years’ experience in energy and petroleum matters. One of the reasons is the single regulator. Secondly, we want the President to appoint the Chairperson of the Tribunal. Currently the Chairperson is appointed by the President in line with other relevant Acts. The Act says that if a chair is of a certain gender then the vice-chair should be of the opposite gender. But that vice-chair must be elected on the first meeting by the members of the authority. Those are the two justifications. The vice-chair must have the qualities of a Judge of the High Court."
