Cap. 607 Art. 11Term of office.

(1) Every member of the Board shall hold office for a term of three (3) years and may be re-appointed at the end of his term of office.

(2) Subject to the provisions of this article, the office of member of the Board shall be deemed to be vacant:

(a) on termination of the term of his appointment; or

(b) should there arise circumstances which, were this person not be a member of the Board, such person would be disqualified from being appointed as such.

(3) A member of the Board may at any time be removed or suspended from office by the Prime Minister after a recommendation by the Authority on the grounds of inability to perform the functions of his office as required, either because of mental or physical illness, or for any other reason due to which the member would no longer be fit to occupy such office.

(4) A member of the Board may resign from his office through a letter addressed to the Prime Minister. If any member tenders his resignation or is removed from his office by the Prime Minister or should the office of any member of the Board become in any manner vacant, the Prime Minister may, after nomination by the relevant sector, appoint a qualified person to take up this post and any person who is so appointed shall keep on occupying that post up to the termination of the term of office of the person being so substituted and such person shall be eligible to be re-appointed.

(5) Any absence or vacancy among the members of the Board, or any participation in its meetings by any person who is not entitled to such participation, shall not invalidate the proceedings of the Board, insofar as there is a quorum of not less than one-half of the number of members of the Board plus one.
