    "content": "On the issue of CEOs and corporate secretaries, we defined their roles very clearly. We also prescribed the qualifications of chairs of the boards. We appreciate that the medical sector is serious. We have had instances where some of the chairs appointed by the Government do not qualify and do not add any value in the boards they are appointed to. So, the Committee sought to have a minimum qualification of a person who becomes a chair of a board and the qualification of CEOs. We also noted some CEOs of the boards in one Ministry have been there for many years. We know that the law allows a CEO to work for four years and, based on performance, his term may be renewed for only one more term. The same thing applies to board members. A board member is supposed to serve for a term of three years and a further renewed term of three more years. However, we have some board members and CEOs who have been in office for many years. The Committee sought to address this issue."
