Leadership and capacity of Council: The Committee raised concerns around the apparent lack of leadership and the inadequate capacity of the Council of the Authority, as the Council is mandated with the governance of the Authority. The Council stated that the composition of the Council is currently problematic as there are various vacancies in the Council, which makes having quorum at Council meetings difficult It was further stated that there is currently a blur of functions between the Chairperson of the Council and the Director of the Authority, with no clear lines of responsibility. It is hoped that the Amendment Bill currently before Parliament will address this situation. The term of the current serving Council will come to an end in December 2012 and it was stated that the new executive will have a difficult time in addressing the issues identified in the Authority. The Committee stated that the Council must hand the Minister of Police a hand-over report, which clearly states the practical difficulties experienced by the Council as well as the various issues of concern pertaining to the governance of the Authority in an effort to empower the Minister to effectively address the situation from escalating.
