    "content": "Most of our parastatals are run by people who are appointed politically. Sometimes they might not be having the necessary qualifications to run those institutions but because they are close to the powers that be, they get down to work with CEOs who are very smart and cleverer than them. When they sit in the board, they do not make any decisions, they just become rubberstamps to confirm whatever has been decided by the board. In the long run, it ends up being a one man show in the institution and if things go wrong, the board members will just start blaming one another without knowing that it is their ignorance which caused the problem. Therefore, I support the Bill because it is establishing a board to run the institute and it has given good qualifications for the people to run the institute especially the executive director who has to be appointed by the President, more so giving very high standards of qualification. It will resemble a college to at least improve the quality of service in our public sector, in the parastatals and State corporations so that if you are appointed a director, you go there for refresher courses and extra training so that at least you can learn skills to enable you run an institution."
