Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I withdraw New Clause 17A and move New Clause 17B. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the signatory to the Letter of Interim Authority is the Cabinet Secretary while the signatory for the Charter is the Chairperson of the Commission. In order for them to have interim authority of operation, the Chairperson of the Commission must give an approval.

Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I concur with her further amendment that even the Letter of Interim Authority should be signed by the Chair of the Commission and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) since the Commission is the one accrediting all these people so that we do not look like we are taking away work that belongs to the Commission to the Cabinet Secretary. So, both of them can sign the Letter of Interim Authority. So, I want to move that we add a further amendment on the Schedule to add the Chairperson of the Commission also as a signatory.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, all we wanted to do is have a prescribed form of the instruments of accreditation and what the prescribed form shall be. In view of what you have just read out in the principal Act and the fact that the Commission has a mandate in the accreditation process, there is no harm in having both of them signing as the Chair of the Committee has proposed. We can have the Chair of the Commission sign and also the Cabinet Secretary or the Chairperson can sign once there is concurrence from the Cabinet Secretary.
