EXPLAINING THE PURPOSE OF
THE BILL, A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THE PROPOSED INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS TO HKIEC'S BOARI WOULD ENABLE THE APPOINTMENT OF ANOTHER NON-OFFICIAL MEMBER, THUS ALLOWING THE BOARD TO BENEFIT FROM A BROADER RANGE OF PROFESSIONAL, COMMERCIAL EXPERTISE.
"THIS WILL ALSO ENABLE THE DIRECTOR OF INDUSTRY, WHO HAS SERVED AS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE BOARD SINCE 1985, ΤΟ BE APPOINTED AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD,' HE SAID.
וי
THE SPOKESMAN ADDED THAT FOLLOWING A RECENT REVIEW OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE, THE BOARD HAD RECOMMENDED AND THE GOVERNOR APPROVED THAT, WITH EFFECT FROM JULY 1. 1989, THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE HKIEC WOULD REPLACE THE DIRECTOR OF INDUSTRY AS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
"HOWEVER, AS THE INDUSTRY DEPARTMENT AND THE CORPORATION HAVE TO WORK CLOSELY TOGETHER IN MANY AREAS, IT IS DESIRABLE THAT THE DIRECTOR CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO THE WORK ог THE BOARD, HE SAID.
T
UNDER THE HKIEC ORDINANCE, THE HKIEC BOARD CONSISTS OF THE CHAIRMAN, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND SEVEN MEMBERS APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR, OF WHOM NOT MORE THAN FOUR SHOULD BE PUBLIC OFFICERS.
THE BILL IS DUE TO BE INTRODUCED INTO THE LEGISLATIVE ON JULY 5.
