    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister say that the letters of appointment were duly collected by the principal on 14th November, 2007. My Question was very specific. This school has been without a Board of Governors for the last one year. The last Board of Governors elapsed in March, 2007. The Assistant Minister has just said that they appointed the Board and the letters of appointment were sent in November last year. I do not know whether the Assistant Minister is aware that Section 10(3) of the Education Act clearly stipulates, and with your permission, I would like to quote it: \"Where a Board of Governors is established, the Minister shall exercise all the functions of the Board during the interval of time that may lapse between the establishment of the Board and the first meeting thereof\". Mr. Speaker, Sir, just sending letters of appointment without following up to make sure that the Board is duly constituted and functioning to run the affairs of the school is a serious anomaly. That is what is causing problems in the education sector in this country. I am not satisfied with the answer the Assistant Minister has given. 1038 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 14, 2008 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am asking him to clarify the matter about him sending the letters and establishing the Board. Has the Ministry really taken action?"
