I move amendment No. 53:

In page 24, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:"(7) Unless he or she resigns, retires or is removed from office, a president shall hold office for such a period as the governing body, with the consent of the Minister, determines but the period shall not exceed 10 years from the date of the president's first appointment.".

It would be good practice if we were to provide that the period in office of the president of a technological university were not to exceed ten years. Apart from that, the amendment is self-explanatory.
