Transparent and effective public investment — #92 Political members of supervisory boards from different state bodies

To avoid conflict of interest the elected politician or nominated officers should as a member of supervisory board come from a different part of the state departments.*

* For example, if the owner of a company serving public interest is the state and its rights are enforced by the competent ministry, and in turn, by the ministry officer, the member of supervisory board shall not come from the same ministry or possibly not from the government; in such a case, politically nominated member of supervisory board could be member of a legislative body and be a member of different political party than the minister which is a superior to the officer enforcing ownership rights of the state.
