Yes. If I start with Clause 2(c)(f), which is by deleting the definition of the word “quality assurance” and substituting thereafter with the new definition of “quality assurance”, that is the one I want to delete. On Clause 2(d), “instrument of accreditation” means the Charter or Letter of Interim Authority. I want to drop that because the Interim Authority cannot be equated with the Charter. That is why I propose to delete.

Ichung’wah had proposed. Thank you.

There were too many members which included five members who were appointed in accordance with Sub-section 2. What Hon. Jude has done is to clean up and leave a team of only seven members. The Commission had a very large membership. Hon. Jude has just reduced the membership. The provision about five members who would be appointed in accordance with Sub-section 2 has already been deleted. I hope Hon. Jude and Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah will take care of the other sections ...
