Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 26 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (4) by inserting the word “Secretary” after the word “Cabinet”. This is a very straightforward issue, in line with the Constitution.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 27 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by deleting the word “facilitate” and substituting therefor the words “provide supplementary funding for”.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the word “supplementary” includes donor funding. We want to leave it open. It does not mean that it has to come from the Exchequer alone. This is a research institution and they can look for external funding or they can generate their own funding. We left it open so that it remains as supplementary income. Apart from what Parliament has approved from the Exchequer, it can seek for any supplementary funds from donors or any other sources. That is the intention, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the original Bill leaves a lot of discretion to the Cabinet Secretary (CS). This Board can be appointed by the CS as and when he finds it fit. Also in the original Bill, the number of members of the Board of Trustees has not been specified. So, in the amendment, we are trying to specify the number to be five and also give some kind of synergy in the appointment so that the CS does not just have any loophole to misuse it.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in the original Bill, this composition of the members was not specified. That is why we are trying to put it as an addition to the same Clause 5. The composition is one member from each and not two from the salt water and fresh water.
