SAO PAULO, Ramadan 01, 1437, June 06, 2016, SPA -- Brazilian interim President Michel Temer said on Monday he plans to nominate technocrats to the top positions in state-controlled firms and pension funds, once the lower house approves a draft proposal requiring high-ranking public employees to have high technical qualifications, according to Reuters. For decades, government named political appointees to some of the most important positions at state companies in Brazil. Temer said that, until the lower house passes the bill, all nominations in those entities have been stopped. --SPA 23:16 LOCAL TIME 20:16 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
