Official text (Arabic)
This article has not been amended since the law was issued.

Article 10 explained in plain English
This article regulates the Deputy Governor, and contains three provisions:
- Number: the Governor has one or more deputies.
- Method of appointment: by decision of the Board, on the nomination of the Governor. The Governor nominates and the Board decides.
- Powers: the deputy carries out work according to the powers given to him by "the Chairman," within what the law provides.
Note that the text assigns the granting of powers to "the Chairman," and "the Chairman" under the definitions in Article 1 is the Chairman of the Board, not the Governor. Reading the text as it stands means that nominating the deputy is for the Governor, appointing him is for the Board, and setting his powers is for the Chairman of the Board, unless the context requires otherwise as Article 1 allows.
This article complements Article 9, which makes the Governor responsible for managing the Authority's affairs and allows him to delegate some of his powers to whichever officials or committees he sees fit, and it precedes Article 11 on the advisory committee.
The article contains no details on the deputy's term of service or pay; the text does not set these matters.
