    Investigation established that the position of the Managing Director was declared vacant in an ad hoc board meeting that was held on 31 July 2023. Consequently, the position was advertised and the requirements that the applicants were supposed to meet were listed. Among the requirements was a Master’s degree in any relevant field from a recognized institution.
    Appointment findings
    Investigation further established that the Board approved the appointment of the candidate in question citing a number of reasons including the gender rule, fresh talent and technical expertise, and that merit and fair competition are not the only factors to be considered during recruitment and selection of a candidate. Investigation also established that having a Masters degree was not a mandatory requirement for the position.
    Report date
    23 June 2025
    Recommendation
    On 23 June 2025, a report was compiled and forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) with recommendations that the file be closed with no further action as the evidence obtained is not sufficient to sustain charges against the Board.
    Status
    The Commission is awaiting the DPP’s response.
