That's a great point. 

Walu as an insider may be you can shed light on this? Usiogope. :) 

Transparency is one of the cornerstones of Corporate Governance and the Board is ultimately answerable to the people that elected it..

Just for the avoidance of doubt and clarity, I remain in office to usher in the new director even though my counterpart opted to resign.

Furthermore, it may not be necessary and that's why I urged members not to focus on the past but celebrate the future ( I believe its bright) - following the election of the new director Eng. Abibu.
