I move amendment No. 33:


In page 35, subsection (2), line 30, after “section” to insert “insofar as practicable”.
I put forward this amendment to ensure the board can act in an independent, transparent manner and that no Minister, whether the current one or future incumbents, can exert undue political pressure on the board. That is my rationale and the legal advice I got on it.
