“When we finish with the quoted companies we also want to extend the code and the compliance to all registered operators. What we started some few years ago was to say that any operator that is to be registered in the market must have a compliance officer however excellent the sponsored individual has done, once your compliance officer has not met our minimum requirement that fund will not be registered and the compliance officer has a lot of responsibilities apart from the normal requirements in terms of returns to other regulatory institutions it is also to ensure that the right corporate governance practice is being implemented.”
