45 Vacancies on Boards of Directors
Public Institutions
Decree no. 4517 issued on 12/13/1972 (General Regulation of Public Institutions) defines public institutions as ‘institutions that handle a public facility. They have a moral character and enjoy financial and administrative autonomy. Public institutions are established, merged or abolished pursuant to a decree issued in the Cabinet. This decree determines the type, purpose and mission of the said institutions as well as their scope of work and the technical, administrative and financial instruments they need to operate. It also affiliates them, according to the nature of their work, with the relevant ministry, which exercises administrative custody over them. Some institutions are linked with the Prime Minister’s Office; others are linked with the Ministry of Energy and Water, the Ministry of Public Health or the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.’
Management of Public Institutions
Public institutions are run by:
- A decisive authority vested in a board of directors appointed pursuant to a decree issued in the Cabinet upon the proposal of the custodial authority, after obtaining the opinion of the Civil Service Board. The board of directors consists of three to seven members including a chairman and a vice chairman and serves for three years, a term that may be renewed or extended.
- An executive authority headed by a Director General or a director appointed in the Cabinet. In some cases, the chairman of the board can also be the Director General. Except in particular cases where the chairman may work on a full-time basis, the chairman and the members of the board are not usually full-timers and are not paid monthly salaries; rather, they are indemnified for attending meetings.
The decree on public institutions stipulates that, at least two months prior to the expiry of the term of the board, the custodial authority must file a proposal to the Cabinet in order to form a new board of directors, provided that the outgoing board continues to operate until the new successor is appointed (Article 6). Accordingly, the members of 45 boards of directors continue in their positions, although their term has expired long ago, only because the government has not appointed any replacements to take over, as illustrated in Table 1.
