    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, maybe, the Chairman did not listen to me when I was moving. I said, many boards usually have problems because of clauses like this one. It has become good governance practice not to get permission from the chairperson. If a member has a problem, say, with the chairperson, upon requesting for permission, they could be denied and yet, the person is actually sick. When you talk of justifiable reason, then it becomes incumbent upon them to prove whether it is justifiable or not. So that even when one goes to court, then you can actually prove that there was justification. When you say ‘permission of the chairperson’, the chairperson might refuse and say he or she did not give the permission. This creates autocracy because you are making a chairperson who can be ruling around people. It is just good governance practice."
