“That was a point of discussion; all the parties have submitted names, but sometimes those names may not meet the criteria, so that’s generally accepted. We have agreed on a board level that we need to have competent people.”

Kamikamica says appointments for heads of missions were also discussed, and the same understanding is being reached that people competent for the job are appointed.
