I move amendment No. 2:
In page 4, between lines 33 and 34 to insert the following subsection:
"(2) The Bureau shall be a body corporate with perpetual succession and an official seal and power to sue and be sued in its corporate name and to acquire, hold and dispose of land or an interest in land and to acquire, hold and dispose of any other property.".
This amendment is designed to strengthen the independent legal status of the bureau. It follows similar provisions in other legislation, for example, establishing the National Treasury Management Agency. The ability of the bureau to act on its own behalf reinforces the provisions in the Bill which protect the anonymity of bureau officers and the staff of the bureau. That is the reason for its inclusion.
