In January an MOU was signed, the deal has to be finalized by March 31st. Now. Can any change to overall stock structure at BTC be done without Parliament? Can any change at the Broadcasting Corp be made without parliament? And if the deal has not been tabled how can they meet the deadline in 12 days?

Nothing to do with this story, but can someone explain to me why so many disgraced people end up in such high paying positions in this country?? If one were an outsider you would think that we're a nation of frauds terms and embezzlers
