    "content": "(b) After the coalition Government was formed, there has been a consistent effort geared towards ensuring that all appointments of parastatal board members and chief executive officers are made competitively giving due attention to the following criteria:- (i) integrity (ii) competence (iii) equity in distribution (iv) gender balance. Hon. Members will also have noted that Article 10, Chapter 2 of the Constitution is explicit on the national values and principles of governance which must be followed in all decisions in public administration. (c) As indicated above, there are very specific guidelines on how appointments of board members and chief executive officers of parastatals are carried out. The Government does not condon any acts of nepotism in making these appointments. Indeed, in June, 2009, a circular was issued by the Prime Minister to all Ministries, departments and public institutions reminding them of the tenets of competence, integrity, regional and gender balance in the making of these appointments. I also wish to table the circular by the Prime Minister."
