Section 64: Summary of 8 suspended Laws in the Security Amendment Bill 2014

Section 64: The Security Amendment Bill 2014

Vancancy in the office of Director General – National Intelligence Service
 

Section 64: The Security Amendment Bill 2014 section 64 sought to amend section 11c of  the National Intelligence Act .

This is what section 64 of the Security Amendment Bill 2014 looked like

“64. The National Intelligence Service Act, 2012 is amended in Section 11C by deleting the words “in accordance with Section 10(2), (3) and (4)”.

This is what section 11C of the National Intelligence Act reads

“11. (1) The office of the Director-General shall  become vacant if the holder-

(b)   dies;

(c)    resigns by notice, in writing, to the President; or

(d)   is removed by the President in accordance with section 10(2), (3) and (4).”

After some editing the NIS act should read

“11. (1) The office of the Director-General shall

become vacant if the holder-

(a)    dies;

(b)   resigns by notice, in writing, to the President; or

(c)    is removed by the President”
