    1. | confirm your advises in your letter dated 21 October 2021 that you act for Mr Peter
    Becker, who was appointed to the Board of the National Nuclear Regulator by me on
    10 June 2021.

    2. | was informed by the Chairperson of the Board that Mr Becker’s conduct prompted
    the Board to procure a legal opinion to establish whether his conduct poses a conflict
    with his role and fiduciary duty as a member of the Board. | am in receipt of the
    opinion dated 6 October 2021 by K T Diong of MacRobert Attorneys. This opinion
    was shared with Mr Becker on or about 8 October 2021.

    made any written representations to me.

    In terms of section 9(1) of the National Nuclear Regulator Act No. 47 of 1999
    (hereafter referred to as “the Act’), in my capacity as the Minister of Mineral
    Resources and Energy, | am empowered to discharge a Director of the Board at any
    time, amongst others, for misconduct or repeatedly failure to perform his or her
    functions efficiently.

    As the allegations levelled against Mr Becker are of a serious nature, and his
    continued presence on the Board may prejudice its effective and efficient
    functioning, | consider it prudent to suspend Mr Becker. ! hereby suspend Mr
    Becker from office as a Director of the Board with immediate effect, pending my
    final decision under section 9(1) of the Act.

    Mr Becker is hereby granted an opportunity to submit through written

    of the Board. Such written representations should reach the office of the Chief
    Director: SOE Oversight via email at [email protected] on or before
