Shareholder representative conflicted?
George MacGee | Thu, 2008-06-12 14:57
I have never understood the combination of the position of Lt. Governor with that of Shareholder Representative on the board of a government owned company.
The fact that Mr. Franklyn Richards choose to wear his shareholder representative 'hat' to avoid fulfiling his duty as the Lt. Governor is a clear indication that these two functions are in direct conflict with each other and cannot be performed by one and the same person.
Is there no other qualified, capable and knowledgeable person to be found to fulfil the role of Shareholder Representative for the Island Government on the board of the Telem Group of Companies?
I am curious to know how much boardmembership positions on government owned companies are being occupied by his Excellency, the Lt. Governor, Commissioners and their spouses, families and friends?
Then I would like to know what procedures were followed in selecting these people and based on what qualifications they have?
