168A: Chief executive's functions in relation to this Act

You could also call this:

“The boss must make sure the law works properly and fix it if needed.”

The chief executive has two main jobs related to this Act. First, you need to do everything necessary to put the Act into action and keep it running smoothly. This means you’re responsible for making sure the Act is working as it should. Second, you need to look over the Act from time to time to see if any changes are needed. This helps make sure the Act stays up to date and works well.
