IS THAT ALL OF IT? ARE THERE NO LIMITATIONS TO THE BOARDS AS TO THE NUMBER OF BOARDING MEETINGS THAT CAN TAKE PLACE IN A MONTH OR WITHIN A QUARTER?FUTHERMORE, I THINK A CEILLING MUST ALSO BE SET FOR EVERY PUBLIC INSTITUTION SUCH THAT THE NUMBERS OF BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD NOT GO BEYOND SEVEN MEMBERS. IF THESE ARE NOT SPELLED OUT THEN I DON'T THINK THE PURPOSE IS TO SAVE THE NATIONAL PURSE. IT MAY ON THE CONTRARY LEAD TO USURPING BOARD POWERS TO HOLD THREE OR MORE BOARDING SITTINGS IN A MONTH. MULTIPLY THE UNNECESARY BOARD MEETINGS IN A MONTH BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO BE TAKEN BY BOARD MEMBERS THEN YOU WOULD COME TO THE REALITIES OF PLUNDERING THE NATIONAL PURSE. WE'RE WATCHING WITH K-E-E-N AND R-A*-P-T ATTENTION
GOOD WORK KEN THIS IS A CLEAR ILLUSTRATION OF PROCTECTING THE PUBLIC PURSE. SOME BOARD MEMBERS HAVE TURNED THEMSELVES INTO EMPLOYEES RECEIVING MONTHLY BOARD ALLOWANCES. PLEASE EXTEND THIS TO OTHER AREAS SUCH AS LUXURY VEHICLES, TRAVELS AND OUTRAGEOUS PER DIEMS, RENT ALLOWANCES ETC. FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE REQUIRED IN PUBLIC SECTOR
