The article discusses concerns surrounding Tonga's Public Enterprises Statutory Board, which the author views as a redundant and inefficient bureaucratic structure. They argue that these boards merely compound existing issues rather than streamline operations or add value. Drawing comparisons to successful governance reforms in the U.S., the author advocates for eliminating outdated systems that limit effective oversight. They emphasize the misalignment in expecting seasoned professionals to accept low compensation and limited influence in governance roles, stressing the need for improved structural efficiency in public service to optimize resource use.
The existence of these Statutory Boards... represents a legacy system that has outlived its purpose.
The maintenance of these Statutory Boards... drains our limited resources without adding proportional value.
