• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Clause 53(3) “Any national government securities issued by the Cabinet Secretary under this section shall be within the borrowing limits set out by the National Assembly under Section 50(2).” All those are treated in 53(A), meaning what we were doing was taking away external loans and external guarantees from Section 53 and treating them afresh in the new Section 53(A). The Temporary Deputy Chair, if we pass Section 53(A), we are going to subject external loans and guarantees to two sections of the law. view

They had no opportunity to go to the old list from the selection committee and select the names for vetting. They were given the list by the President to vet. view
