Section 3: Given that the Council for Geosciences wished to be mandated a more direct role in the management and control of geohazards, it would seem pragmatic that the board also had representation from the geotechnical industry. For the board to exercise its responsibilities in the control over the performance of this core function of the Council as is required in section 4 of the Bill, a representative from the geotechnical fraternity would be surely required to guide the relevance of the geotechnical responsibilities of the Council and align them with the geotechnical industry in the country.
