This is with regards to the news report titled “Politicians eyeing top positions in trade bodies” published yesterday. This trend can be seen in just about every sector of our nation, that most of the topmost seats are being reserved for politicians and there is absolutely no merit system. The true representation of traders, as pointed out in the report, is obviously undermined as a result and hence those that deserve to be at the helm of matters are rarely seen there. Be it trade bodies, or other institutions we need to ensure that only those that deserve to be at the top manage to be there.
