According to the Executive Mansion, all statutory members of these boards will retain their positions in line with existing laws and regulations. The President has also directed that, in the interim, the sector heads responsible for each institution shall serve as Acting Chairpersons until the new boards are formally reconstituted.
President Boakai extended gratitude to the outgoing board members for their service and contributions to national development.
