The amendment to section 8 of the Contractor General Act relaxes the constraint that previously prevented a former Contractor General from obtaining employment in the public service. The amendment, which repeals the previous section 8, reads as follows:

“A person appointed as Contractor-General shall (a) be a full-time officer; and (b) not be employed in any other capacity during any period in which that person holds office as Contractor-General”.

Previously, section 8 read: “A person appointed as Contractor-General shall be a full-time officer
and, (a) shall not be employed in any other capacity during any period in which he holds office as Contractor-
General; and (b) shall not, at any time after he has ceased to hold office as Contractor-General, be eligible for appointment in the public service.“
