    "content": "There is no way a circular can overrun an Act of Parliament. In the NG-CDF Act, we are allowed to set aside funds for purposes of doing assessments in terms of mock examinations. That is allowed in the Act. Remember, others are automatic Members of this board one of them being the Principal Secretary of the Ministry responsible for education or his alternate, a representative that he appoints in writing. When it comes to the board, I remember an instance where members proposed to set aside funds for mocks and assessment of examinations for both primary and secondary education but the board overruled the members. They said such examinations may lead to leakage of the national examinations. I have tried to find out why it has been rejected while the Act allows that activity, but the answers I got is that the Ministry has issued a circular. A circular cannot overrun an Act of Parliament. That is why I am saying that once the new board is constituted, it should adhere to the rule of law, consider, approve or disapprove projects in accordance with the Acts that govern those projects and leave alone issues to do with circulars because circulars never overrun Acts of Parliament."
