    "content": " I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended – (k) by deleting the proposed amendment to Section 9(3) and substituting therefor the following new amendment− s. 9(3) Delete and substitute therefor the following new subsection− “(3) The office of a member of the Board of Directors shall become vacant− (a) if, not being an ex officio member− (i) he resigns from office by writing to the appointing authority; (ii) he is convicted of an offence and sentenced to imprisonment for a term exceeding six months without the option of a fine; (iii) he is absent, without permission of the Board of management, from three consecutive meetings; (b) if the Board of Management is satisfied that such member is, by reason of physical or mental infirmity, unable to exercise the functions of his office; (c) upon death; (d) upon adjudication of bankruptcy by a court of competent jurisdiction; (e) upon conviction of an offence related to fraud; or (f) upon the conviction for offence under this Act.” This amendment seeks to provide, with better clarity, the conditions under which the office of a member of the board of directors shall become vacant. In terms of the proposed amendments, a resignation shall be tendered to the appointing authority while only the offences that do not have the option of a fine shall render it vacant."
