I think we are repeating ourselves. It is good to do competitive appointment of the Deputy Director-General, but taking it to the Cabinet Secretary for approval is not necessary. This is after you have already taken the Director-General’s name for approval. So, we are trying to delete 14(1).

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you look at the title of the original Act, you will find that it talks about the appointment of the Director-General while 14(1) talks about the appointment of the Deputy Director-General of Crops and the Deputy Director-General of Livestock.
