Here, we have two amendments. In the first one, it is nomenclature again, replacing the word “director” with, “secretary”. In the second one, we are deleting the words “foster care or adoption” and substituting thereof with the words, “appropriate family care” This is to accommodate all categories of alternative family care services to our children.

(b) in sub-clause (4) by deleting the word “Director” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word “Secretary”; (c) by inserting the following new sub clause immediately after sub clause (5): “6. The Cabinet Secretary shall prescribe regulations for composition and conduct of an inspection committee.”

There are three justifications to this. First is to ensure that all borstal institutions are among the statutory institutions that should be inspected by the inspection committee. The other one is replacing the word “director” with the word “secretary” as earlier explained. The third one is a new sub-clause that seeks to delegate legislative powers to the cabinet secretary to make regulations on the composition and conduct of the inspection committee.

Hon. Chairman, as a clarification, in the Bill, paragraph (e) provides that there will be regulations for the training and remuneration of persons employed in children remand homes, rehabilitation schools, child rescue centres and child protection centres. I am wondering whether the proposal by Hon. Millie is not covered in that particular paragraph (e).

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I am a student of law to add to the many professions that I currently possess. Even here, I am still learning. On this one, it was an error on our part to reject Hon. Millie’s position. We accept it.

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: That, Clause 94 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (7) by deleting the words “and substitute for the sentence an order under Section 148 (2)". The phrase that we are deleting is not related to this sub-section. It is misplaced.
