    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think also, as a lesson in the future, a board of any State Corporation should not take on a role it cannot perform. In this particular case, this Board took a job of a specialised human resource firm. They formed a Committee to hire a CEO of a very important State Corporation. I know boards of directors are very powerful. But they have a mandate. It is very much enshrined in the law, and their roles are clearly stated. They can only perform a function, which they have the capacity for. This particular case involved very technical work, and they never had the capacity to do it. That was why we had two reports going to the Minister; they really misadvised the Minister on how he was to conduct the entire exercise. Eventually, after using all that amount money, it was an exercise in futility, because the whole Board was sent packing by the Minister. Also, the MD who was appointed by the Minister was also sent home by the acting Minister who came in after the Minister left."
