The decision on Sunday means that two board members Ahlam Janahi and Abdulhakeem Al Shammri had to resign as the general assembly resolved to keep the maximum number of board seats to 18.
Ahlam Janahi immediately tendered the resignation from her position as board member while Abdulhakeem Al Shammri who was not in Bahrain yet to resign paving the way for the smooth completion of the process of taking the earlier sacked board members back.
On April 27th, 2011, during its extra-ordinary meeting BCCI board had approved a resolution sacking the two board members Adel Hassan Al A’ali and Ebrahim Abdali Isa Aldaaysi.
In a previous statement the Board said that the decision was taken unanimously by the members in line with the General Assembly’s recommendations submitted last April 9 and Article 33 of BCCI’s Constitution stipulating that “resolutions of the General Assembly of the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry shall be adopted by the relative majority of votes present at the meeting.”
In the same statement, the BCCI board asserted that it strongly rejects the membership of anyone found guilty in harming BCCI’s deep-rooted reputation as a 70-year old institution known for its full-fledged loyalty to the wise leadership and support for the Kingdom’s legitimacy and fundamentals.
