    "content": "Having said that, I want to talk to some of the specific provisions. Clause 7 (1) (d) and (e) talks about gender equity in the representation in the management Board. However, clause 7 (1) (e) is very strange from a legislative perspective. It talks about four persons – two of either gender representing smallholder tea growers from the east and west of the tea growing areas. What are those tea growing areas? When you are legislating, you cannot just say tea growing areas. If we are talking of specific tea growing areas, we must define what those areas are. This is because, if you are talking about the east and the west, it means you can also nominate my grandmother, who is a fisher person, because she will be in the east or east of an undefined area. So, can we specifically define that area, not as east and west?"
