PIACL, board in its 11th Meeting held on 18th April, 2017, fixed the number of directors as ‘Eleven’. Further PIACL Board in its 12th meeting decided that one Director shall be elected by the share holders at the first AGM. Government’s participation in such an election will be to the extent of its votes after excluding the total votes which would have been sufficient to elect ten Directors as per Section 183 of Companies Ordinance 1984. In terms of Public Sector Companies (Corporate Government) Rules 2013 (3-A) a director nominated by Government shall hold office in accordance with Section 165(3) of the judgment and independence in the best interest of the Company. These functions can be translated when PIACL have competent and dynamic Directors on its Board. PIA is suffering from severe and chronic financial crisis.
