### sec.34 Delegation
The chief executive (the delegant ) may, either generally or otherwise as provided by the instrument of delegation, by writing, delegate—
to any person;
to the holder of an office, specifying its title but not the name of the holder for the time being;
all or any of the delegant’s powers, authorities, functions and duties under this Act, except this power of delegation.
A power, authority, function or duty so delegated, if exercised or discharged by the delegate, shall be exercised or discharged in accordance with the instrument of delegation.
A delegation may be made subject to such terms and conditions as the delegant thinks fit including a requirement that the delegate shall report to the delegant upon the exercise or discharge of the delegated power, authority, function or duty.
The delegant may make such and so many delegations of the same power, authority, function or duty and to such number of persons or holders of office as the delegant thinks fit.
A delegation is revocable at the will of the delegant and does not prevent the exercise of any power or authority or the discharge of any function or duty by the delegant.
