For last 3 years this institutions not performing well. Due to inappropriate people appointed to board and higher management. It has become a burden to the treasury. This institutions must be restructure or made private. Trade unions are another course for the downfall. Potuwa union members are given special allowances and vehicles. Chairmans and their families are given lot of benefits. Hope privatizeing will give some benefits to the piblic
