Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank Members for honouring the Joint Select Committee. I was part of that Committee. When this Report was moved, I was really worried because I thought what we did in 30 days, sitting day and night, at times until 2.30 a.m. was going to be thrown out. I am happy that the House has respected what they had initially passed. When the Motion was passed here and we were given the mandate, it was agreed that the Report should be The electronic version of the Official Hansard ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I thank the Members for the support and the request for clarification. The competitive process will be done through the regulations, as my colleague has said. The Public Service Commission (PSC) will have no role here because this is a parastatal and the PSC deals with civil servants. So, it will not be fair to ask the PSC to appoint people. In terms of drafting, which Hon. Makali has mentioned, this is just to make it clear and ensure that those people are independent. The language used, that is, “maintain such independence during their term”, is ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to withdraw the amendment in Clause 9.

31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly:
I am withdrawing that amendment. This clause relates to the qualification of the Director-General of Civil Aviation Authority. It states that he must possess management and technical experience in the field of civil aviation of not less than 10 years. The original requirement was that the candidate should have knowledge and experience in matters relating to civil aviation. This proposal in Clause 9 is adequate. So, I withdraw the amendment.
