Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with Hon. Kimunya except that I thought we had changed because we have been going on without subjecting all the new clauses to Second Reading. There are new clauses that we actually passed even in… Which were the others? The ones that we have just done.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am not talking of Clause 13. I am talking of the ones before. Even in Clause 11, we had new clauses, which we did not read a Second Time, but I am okay because I know procedurally, when you have a new clause, they should be read a Second Time. So, I really do not mind. Ordinarily, what would happen is that all the new clauses are read at the end, but because we have been going this way, sometimes you know procedures change.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me just explain. I dropped Clause 13(2)(a), where I was proposing the inclusion of law.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it would only make sense if that sub-clause passes for me to move this amendment. So, you will advise on how we can go about it. I will be proposing a new sub-clause 13(5)(j) that gives the grounds for dismissal of a CEO. If that passes, then we need an amendment to Clause 13(5).
