reading most of your comments I'm left feeling that<br>
having a 'conflict of interest' is a crime.<br>
surely we have all been in situations where we have<br>
had to declare our conflict of interest without<br>
necessarily resigning from the board/company etc.<br>
why don't we explore the other more accommodating<br>
options of dealing with this issue rather than just<br>
resigning and that's because some of the people we<br>
loose as a result may be hard to replace and the board<br>
is the ultimate loser.<br>

If they don't resign, impartiality suffers so they must do the right and honorable thing. If we don't do that, we end up encouraging the same attitude where noone wants to take responsibility for messes occurring under their watch. The recent fiasco at KNEC comes to mind.<br>
We must encourage/nurture the culture where people come clean on everything they do, and not accommodated just because they are hard to replace (which is an assumption you made, I believe).<br></div></div><br>-- <br>Best regards,<br>
