    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we appreciate the intention of the Committee in trying to make the organisation transparent and accountable. However, if you put the words \"in consultation with the Board\" then we will get a stalemate because the Minister will only intervene when, in his view, something goes wrong, for example, if they want to buy something that is over-priced. So, if you say, \"in consultation\" he will only intervene when something is really \"dead\",. It is like saying: \"I want to sack you, can you, please, accept that I sack you?\" We are opposing this amendment because it will bring a stalemate. The Minister will only intervene in a case where something is wrong. To ask for the Board to accept, will be a contradiction."
