The official opposition Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) has welcomed the tabling of the Public Enterprise Governance Bill. The Bill introduces the Hybrid Governance Module to ensure efficient governance of state-owned enterprises (SOE). The proposed legislation further places 81 state-owned enterprises under the Public Enterprise Ministry, by giving the powers to monitor their performances and restructure if necessary. PDM MP Nico Smit in his contribution says once it becomes law the Public Enterprise Governance Bill will restore good governance at all state-controlled companies.
