• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) No, I am not aware. Out of the 32 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) appointed in the first half of 2003, contracts of only seven CEOs have since expired.

• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the contracts of the remaining 25 CEOs will expire in June this year. If the hon. Member wants to know their names, I am prepared to give them to him. But I came with only the names of those CEOs whose contracts have expired as required by the Question.

I agree that when you look at previous reports you will see that the performance of most State Corporations was actually wanting. But at the moment their performances is above average.

Before a CEO is appointed the board of directors advertises the position and people apply. The Board then looks at the names of people who have submitted their applications and recommends three names to the Minister of the parent Ministry. The Minister will then look at the three names and appoint one of them a CEO. view

We, as a Government, are going to practice a lot of professionalism when hiring the CEOs. view

• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question here is for me to show specifics. It says: Could the Minister table a list of the affected CEOs? When the question is about the affected CEOs--- view
