THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (e). I am just waiting for some matrix here from my Clerk. Please, just give me a few minutes. I think it is already here.

The proposed amendment is in conformity with the Committee’s proposed amendment to Clause 19 of the Bill proposing that registration of an ICT practitioner should be voluntary. ...

(d) by renumbering the existing provision as sub-clause (1); (e) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after the renumbered new sub-clause (1)— “(2) Despite the provisions of subsection (1), a person may elect not to be registered as an ICT practitioner.” The justification to the proposed amendments addresses the concerns raised by some stakeholders, that the qualification and experience requirements will lock out ICT practitioners. The amendments lower the requirement and further provides for voluntary registration as an ICT practitioner. Further, the amendment seeks to provide the use of ICT practice instead of ICT field which is not defined ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: - THAT, Clause 22 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) (ii) by deleting the words “and all avenues of appeal have been exhausted”. The justification for this is, the provision raises the concern on, in case one does not appeal, are they allowed to remain on the register? Furthermore, the provision creates the impression that a convicted person should then appeal even when there might not be need to do that in order to fulfil the requirements. I move, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: - THAT, Clause 25 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by inserting the words “if satisfied that the ICT practitioner is guilty of professional misconduct or is in breach of any provisions of the Act” at the end of the sub-clause. The justification is that Clause 25 (3) fails to provide the grounds under which the council’s decision to issue or to refuse to renew the license and therefore leaving it to the council to make a decision without any parameters this could lead to abuse. I propose.
