@jamani your assertion that pple from western will complain because the envisaged CEO is from central just shows your own personal view while you hide behind the pple of western.
Last year leaders from western said they will support anyone who will be appointed by the board regardless of whether he is from western or not.So this issue of ethnicity does not arise unless you are dissatisfied personally with the appointment.
The issue of whether this recruitment is competitive or not shld be raised by shareholders in the next GM further more the board has the authority to hand pick or subject the process to a competitive recruitment.
