    "content": "I think we have a lot of challenges in the appointment of board members in this country and there is need for us to review the same so that regional balance is upheld at all levels. If you look at the formation of the current board, indeed there is need to carry out an audit of the current board in this country so as to ensure that regional and ethnic balance is upheld. The north eastern, eastern and coastal regions happen to be the worst affected in terms of board appointments in this country. In some countries like India, what they have done is that they have formed permanent structures that deal with appointment of board members. Inclusivity is highly upheld. In our case, political patronage and friendship are the factors that guide us in appointment of individuals and hence poor performance in parastatals. If you want to inculcate good performance culture in our parastatals, then we must ensure that the right approach is used in upholding the identification of board members."
