“To all intents and purposes, government reiterates the position that Boards of agencies are to provide general policy guidelines and frameworks, and not to interfere with the day-to-day management of the agencies.

“The Boards and Chief Executive Officers are all appointed by Mr. President, according to stated terms and conditions with clearly established rules and procedures for subjecting Chief Executive Officers to disciplinary measures including suspension from office.
