Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I was saying that in Paragraph (e), there are three people to be appointed, but in Paragraph (f), it is only one person. I do not know how you will take into consideration gender when it is one person to be appointed. We are automatically looking for an expert. Paragraph (f) states that: “One person appointed by virtue of knowledge and experience in matters relating to agriculture, co-operative or law”. So, it can be from either gender.
