"content": "I listened keenly to their recommendations which should be implemented within three months. The Committee on Implementation should take this work seriously to enable us move ahead. Among the challenges faced by those corporations are delays in appointments of the board members, especially, in the Ministry of Health. We have many jobless people in this country. Why the delay then? I am shocked that the Cabinet Secretary for Health has not filled those positions and, hence, the raising of these issues. It is unfair. Another recommendation from the Committee is that there is need to stagger the period of serving by board members. That way, they can have a minimum of five out of the ten or 11 board members required. Having been a director in one of the corporations in this country, I know it is important for business to continue. It cannot continue when the numbers do not meet the requisite minimum threshold. I urge the concerned cabinet secretaries not sit on the responsibilities that have been given to them. The vetting process is ongoing and I believe those who will take over in whichever capacity will work extra hard so that we do not have the same issues."
