Amendment 74B would address an issue of corporate governance and procedural integrity—namely, who may be authorised to authenticate the seal of the authority. As currently drafted, the schedule permits the PSFA to authorise individuals outside the authority to perform this function. This amendment would remove that provision. Applying the official seal of a statutory body is a significant act. It is the legal equivalent of a signature. It authenticates formal instruments, contracts and official documents. Allowing this power to be delegated to individuals who are not even members of the authority risks weakening the chain of accountability. Decisions of this weight must remain firmly within the organisation itself, not outsourced to external agents or loosely affiliated individuals. This is a simple safeguard to protect the authority’s procedural integrity.
