[kictanet] The Unfortunate Drama at CCK over DG's Fate: Your Take?

Thu Apr 7 17:18:35 EAT 2011

Under the current legal framework, is the Minister acting within his powers
in reinstating the DG? If he is, regardless of what the Board thinks, what
we have is a governance nightmare that needs to be fixed. Looking forward to
the independent commission.

By the way, Mr Mutoro, is yours the official position of Cofek?

Kind regards,
